The Sarah and Morris Wertel Room
THE WERTEL FAMILY
possibly the Bronx, NY
cir 1940s
seated, Sarah and Morris
standing, their children Stanley and Dolores
Sarah Wertel, nee Sure Kalender, had a last known residence of Ostrow
Mazowiecka, Poland.
Her father was Baruch Leib Kalender and her mother was Fruma Etka Gniazdowicz,
sister to my
paternal grandfather, Srul Gniazdowicz. It is possible that Baruch and Fruma
Etka spent part of
their lives in Brok, Poland, where they may have raised other children. Her
parents never emigrated
from Poland. She immigrated via Ellis Island on 30 Jun 1921 aboard the S.S.
Mount Clinton, having
departed from Hamburg. Her contact in the United States upon her arrival was
brother-in-law
Harry Leibiker, who at the time was living on the Lower East Side at 138 Monroe
Street.
Sarah married Morris Wertel on 26 Feb 1923 at 207 Clinton Street, and lived for
a time on
Montgomery Street in Lower Manhattan. They were known in later years to reside
in the Bronx.
