Biography
Reuben's parents were Nathan Rabinovich and Esther Schulman. Nathan and Esther were each other's 2nd marriages, and each had kids from the first marriage. Reuben's wife Sarah Myrtle Caplan was his step-sister. (Presumably, Reuben, Moishe, Eli and Dora, who kept the Rabinovich name were children of Nathan, and Sarah was a child of Esther.) For unknown reasons, Sarah and Reuben were forced to marry, even though Sarah had a boyfriend at the time. Sarah was extremely unhappy about this. After raising eight kids together, Sarah and Reuben separated. Sarah's two daughters (Rose and Esther, neither of whom ever married) took Sarah to Washington, D.C., with them when they went there to find work. (Esther became extremely paranoid and had many cats.)
