Sarah (Steinbach) 1864-

Notes

The 1900 Census show 40 y/o Abraham and 35 y/o Sarah living at 241 Rogers Avenue in Baltimore, MD with Bessie (12), Dora (10), Ruben (9), Ella (7), Rebecca (5), and Rachel (3). Abraham and Sarah have been married for 15 years. All six of Sarah children are still living. Abraham and Sarah were both born in Russia. Abraham has been in the US for 20 years and is naturalized. All of the children were born in Maryland. Abraham is a tailor. The four older children are in school. Both Abraham and Sarah can speak English. Abraham can read and write, but not Sarah. There are many discrepancies between this census and the next. The errors appear to be mostly from this one; perhaps a neighbor answered or the census taker was ill trained. E.g., Rubie and Ella are listed as daughters here, but clearly these are sons Reuben and Alexander.

In the 1910 Census the family is living at 114 Gibson Street in Baltimore. Abraham W. now lists his age as 45 and Sarah G lists hers as 42. They have been married for 21 years. The children are Bessie (20), Dora (19), Reuben (17), Alexander (16) and Rebecca (12). Rachel died sometime in the last 10 years. The parents now list their place of birth and their parents' place of birth as "Russ Pol (Polish)". The also list Russo-Poland as the birth place of Bessie and Dora. Abraham lists year of immigration as 1892, and Sarah, Bessie and Dora came in 1891. Abraham is a teacher at a Hebrew school. Bessie is a music teacher, and Dora is a saleslady at a department store. Now Sarah can read and write.

The 1920 Census show 54 y/o Abraham W. and 40 y/o Sarah G. living in a home the own free and clear at 2854 North Ave in Baltimore, MD. Both list 1891 as their immigration year and 1896 as their naturalization year, Russia as their place of birth and Hebrew as their mother tongue. Living with them are 29 y/o daughter Bessie Schlesinger (again listed as born in Maryland), 31 y/o son-in-law Hyman Schlesinger, grandson Walter (3), daughter Dora (27), son Reuben (26), son Alexander (22), and daughter Rebecca (25). Hyman, Walter and Hyman's parents were born in Illinois. Abraham is still a Hebrew teacher. Hyman is a manager of an auto agency. Dora is a grammar school teacher. Reuben is a student teacher at a college. Alexander is a manager at an auto agency. Rebecca is a teacher at a school. Hyman and Alexander are employers, and the others work for wages.

The 1930 Census show 61 y/o Abraham and 59 y/o Sarah living alone at 2333 Reisterstown Rd in Baltimore in a house that they rent for $50/month. They own a radio. They list age at marriage as 22 and 20 y/o respectively. Now they list their mother tongue as Russian and year of immigration as 1893. Abraham is still a Hebrew School teacher.
