Story of Adolph and Sylvia Meeting
Adolph Bernstein and his friend Ted Stern had jars of fetuses which they were going to display at state fairs to make money during the depression. Their first stop was Minneapolis where Adolph stayed with sister (Reva Bernstein) and brother-in-law (Sam Lieberman) who had a sister named Jeanette R Lieberman, married to Ralph Henry Horwitz, who introduced Adolph to his younger sister Sylvia Horwitz at a shivah.
- Adolph Bernstein's older sister is Reva Bernstein.
- Reva Bernstein married Sam Lieberman.
- Sam Lieberman's younger sister is Jeanette R Lieberman.
- Jeanette R Lieberman married Ralph Henry Horwitz.
- Ralph Henry Horwitz's youngest sister is Sylvia Horwitz.
After Sylvia and Adolph met, they courted for a while, and Adolph's friend Ted took off for California without him. Adolph wanted to get married, but Sylvia's parents refused to allow it. Why? Because she had one older sister who was not yet married. So they had to wait until Mildred got married until they could get engaged.
Other
Sylvia did not get along with Sylvia Moskovitz (Howard), her sister-in-law, (brother Solomon Horwitz's wife).
