Grandma and Grandpa both worked to help pay for relatives to come to New York. Minnie and her parents brought her siblings here; Teddy teamed up with his older brother, Samuel (Simon) Schwartz, to bring their youngest sister Mary Schwartz here.
Grandma was far from wealthy, but she left each of her grandchildren a bit of jewelry in her will. I received this gold lavalier and a cocktail ring, both of which remind me of her courage and perseverance. Thank you, Grandma!
Your lavalier is lovely. I inherited one from my grandmother also, and feel like it had been in the family for longer than she had, but don't have all the history.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the memory prompt.

Hi Dee, What does your lavalier look like? Hope you've been successful in shakin' your family tree lately!
