Henrietta Moses Remembers
Morty Jacobs sent me a tape recording of his aunt Henrietta. I will copy it to a CD and upload it to this blog.
She identifies Jonah's mother as Yenta, and observes that all three sisters (Frumma, Shayndle, and Leah) named their first daughter after their mother. She identifies Leah's father as Evchef (Eddie). She gives no surnames. She does not name Jonah's father.
She lists all the children of Frumma (8), Jonah (8), Shayndle (8), and Leah (3). She indicates who was born in Russia and who in the U.S. One child, Shayndle's Henrietta, was born in England. Shayndle's husband Moishe had three children from an earlier marriage.
Most of Leah's descendants have been added to Geni. There likely are over 100 descendants of Frumma and Shayndle not yet on the tree. In due time they will be.
Henrietta refers to Jonah as a widower when he married Ida. Perhaps that was a cover story she was told, or a blind spot in her recall. She was born 1899 and emigrated in 1909. Jonah and Ida emigrated in 1897 so by the time she met them Izzy, Dora, and Minnie were young adults.
She tells fascinating vignettes of life in the shtetl. Moishe was well off, had a barber shop patronized by Russian army officers who tipped him off about impending pogroms.

Frumma's grandson Larry Goldberg
Lawrence H. Goldberg, whose diligence saved Russ
Hodges' famous, exuberant baseball call, "The Giants
win the pennant!" died Saturday, April 25, 2009, in
Atlanta. He was 84.
It was October 3, 1951, when Mr. Goldberg -- before
heading to work -- asked his mother, Sylvia, to record
the end of the third game of the Brooklyn Dodgers-New
York Giants playoff game. That reel-to-reel tape
recorded Hodges' call: 'There's a long fly. It's going to
be, I believe. The Giants win the pennant! The Giants
win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant! The Giants
win the pennant! Bobby Thomson hits into the lower
deck of the left-field stands. The Giants win the pennant!
And they're going crazy. They're going crazy!'
The radio station that broadcast the game hadn't recorded
it, and Mr. Goldberg offered to lend his tape to Hodges.
Without it, the world would have never heard the call --
which has since been repeated on the radio, TV and film.
At first, Hodges made recordings as gifts for friends.
The next spring, sponsor Chesterfield cigarettes made
records of the call for their dealers. In return, Mr. Goldberg,
was given a tape cartridge, $100 and access to Chesterfield's
box at the Polo Grounds for the season.
On the 50th anniversary of the call, Mr. Goldberg told The
New York Times why he made the recording: 'I knew
I wouldn't be able to listen to the broadcast, and I knew
something was going to happen,' he told the Times. 'It was
the third game of the playoffs. That kind of game had to
be climactic, even if it was a blowout.'
Larry Goldberg died at Emory University Hospital from
congestive heart failure. In addition to being an avid Giants
fan, he was a loving husband, father, grandfather and
retired travel agent.
He was born January 3, 1925, in Brooklyn, New York, to
the late Joseph and Sylvia Goldberg. He served in the U.S.
Army Air Corps in World War II, having been stationed
in England. He attained the rank of sergeant.
Mr. Goldberg was graduated from Ithaca College, Ithaca,
New York. He was united in marriage to Gloria Roffman
in Atlanta, Georgia on December 18, 1955.
He came to Atlanta in 1953 to work for American Express.
He later worked for The Travel Mart and managed Rich's
Travel Agency at Rich's department stores. He was
a member of Congregation Beth Jacob, where he served
on the board of directors and was president of the men's
club. He served as president of the Atlanta chapter of
ASTA, the American Society of Travel Agents, and was
a member of SKAL, the International Association of
Travel and Tourism Professionals.
Mr. Goldberg was a voracious reader who was interested
in world politics, enjoyed working crossword puzzles
and adored his grandchildren, who loved their Zayda.
He is survived by his wife, Gloria; his son and his wife,
Steve and Leah; his daughter and her husband, Debra and
Reid Sifen; four grandchildren, Alexander Goldberg of
Atlanta, and Shaina, Menachem and Meir Sifen of Toronto,
Ontario.
Graveside services will be at 2:00 p.m., Monday,
April 27, at Crest Lawn Memorial Park, 2000 Marietta
Blvd., Atlanta. Rabbi Ilan Feldman will officiate.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to
Congregation Beth Jacob.
The family would like to thank all of the staff at Emory
University Hospital for their help and support, especially
the doctors and nurses at the Cardiac Care Unit.

THE SHOT HEARD 'ROUND THE WORLD;
A Call Is Born, And Saved By a Mom
FROM: The New York Times (October 1st 2001) ~
By Richard Sandomir
On Oct. 3, 1951, Lawrence Goldberg made one change
in his routine before he left his home in Flatbush for his
job in Manhattan as a trip planner for the Automobile
Club of New York. He tuned his radio to WMCA 570
and told his mother to hit the record button of his
Webcor reel-to-reel tape recorder when Game 3 of the
Dodgers-Giants playoff reached the bottom of the ninth
inning.
''I knew I wouldn't be able to listen to the broadcast, and
I knew something was going to happen,'' said Goldberg,
now 76 and living in Atlanta. ''It was the third game of the
playoffs. That kind of game had to be climactic, even if it
was a blowout.''
Was Goldberg's mother, Sylvia, a baseball fan? No.
Was she paying strict attention to the game? No, he said,
''she was paying attention to her only son.''
Goldberg's planning preserved what would become one
of the most celebrated sports calls ever. Russ Hodges
was on WMCA in the ninth inning. It was Hodges's luck
to call the first three and last three innings on radio, with
his partner, Ernie Harwell, calling the middle three. They
reversed the roles on NBC-TV; Harwell thought national
television was the plum assignment, with a chance to
reach more people than radio.
Goldberg's mother started the tape rolling with Brooklyn
leading, 4-1. No one at WMCA did. Nor did anyone at
NBC. Red Barber's call on the Dodgers' station,
WMGM, went similarly unrecorded. Gordon
McClendon's radio call on the Liberty Network was
taped but largely unremembered.
The tape of Hodges caught his astonished, overwrought
21-second call, when the Giants' Bobby Thomson faced
Brooklyn's Ralph Branca:
''There's a long fly,'' he said. ''It's going to be, I believe.
The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant!
The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant!
Bobby Thomson hits into the lower deck of the left-field
stands. The Giants win the pennant! And they're going
crazy. They're going crazy!''
Don DeLillo captured Hodges's joy, and the coda of his
call, in his novel ''Underworld'':
''Then he raises a pure shout, wordless, a holler from the
old days -- it is fiddlin' time, it is mountain music on
WCKY at five-thirty in the morning. The thing comes
jumping right out of him, a jubilation, it might be heyy-ho
or it might be oh-boyyy shouted backwards or it might be
something else entirely -- hard to tell when they don't use
words.''
Harwell was in the booth beside Hodges but could not
hear his usually mild-mannered colleague's roar. Harwell's
call was much less dramatic.
''As I remember, it was, 'It's gone.' '' he said. ''And I just
let the picture take over. But immediately, as Andy Pafko
backed up against the wall, I had misgivings. It was
unusual for a home run to go into the lower deck.''
That, of course, is not the end of the story. How did the
world learn of Hodges's call, which was heard only
locally? Now, millions have heard it, and perhaps
believed it was from the TV broadcast because it is
played over newsreel footage of the game.
The night after the game, Goldberg wrote Hodges to
ask if anyone at WMCA had recorded the game; if not,
he would lend him his. Hodges replied quickly, and
used the tape to make records as Christmas gifts.
''Then, in the spring training of 1952, I got a call from
Russ,'' Goldberg said, ''saying that Chesterfield wants
to borrow the tape to distribute it to its dealers.''
The rewards for Goldberg's diligence were modest.
''Russ sent me a tape cartridge to thank me, and
Chesterfield sent me $100 and access to their box at
the Polo Grounds for the season,'' he said.
In later years, when Hodges related the tale of the tape,
he would refer to Goldberg as a Dodger fan who made
the tape so he could hear the voice of the Giants weep
when Brooklyn won. A good yarn, but untrue.
''I was a Giant fan from 1933 on, when I was 8,''
Goldberg said.
Hodges embellished the story during a 1967 interview,
saying that Goldberg and his family recorded the
bottom of the ninth ''for no reason, just for kicks.''
In the best tradition of a sports fabulist like Bill Stern,
Hodges said that Goldberg ''still works in a steakhouse
in New York -- he's a waiter.''
None of that was true, Goldberg said, although his friend
Louis Lerner was a waiter at Gallagher's Steak House,
then and now, a sports world hangout.
''Maybe,'' Goldberg said, ''Russ spoke to Louie.''

Memoir of Sam Pullman from 1993
"Born October 31, 1900 at 45 Allen Street. His father, Julius, was a carpenter. His mother, Ida, had ten children, eight of whom survived to adulthood. It must have taken great skill and thrift to raise them all on a carpenter's wages.
Sam was their fifth child. He showed a very early aptitude for drawing and painting, which his family encouraged. His older sisters, in particular, took care of him and his talent, which he was expected to use to help his family out financially, as soon as possible.
This he did as soon as he graduated from grade school in 1916. Nearly 16 years old, he went to work as a commercial artist in various studios around NYC to help his family make ends meet. His father died when Sam was in his early twenties, which made Sam's financial contribution more necessary than ever. According to family legend, Sam promised to help support his widowed mother and not to marry until he was 25.
Shortly before his 25th birthday he married Anna Javits (first cousin of Jacob Javits, who later became a New York Senator). His first child, Miriam, was born in 1926 and his son, Norman in 1931. Norman graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design1 in 1954; his wife, Barbara Hunt Pullman, graduated from Brown University the same year. By this time the Great Depression was in full swing and Sam found himself, at times, without work. He and a fellow commercial artist, Irving Lefson, decided to set up a studio of their own. They established the Lefson-Lewis Studio, specializing in fine illustrations for men's fashion advertisements. Among their clients were Rogers Peet, Dobbs Hats, Bond Stores, and John David. Sam's illustrations appeared regularly in magazines, newspapers, and in at least one book on fashion, called "Are Clothes Modern?" This business partnership went on for nearly 30 years, until 1959, when he and Lefson dissolved the business.
Although his formal education ended when he was less than 16, he continued to read and study all his life, becoming knowledgeable on many subjects as well as art. He managed to draw and paint for many years as his young family was growing up. He had studied briefly at the Art Students League in NYC in the 1920's but for the most part was self-taught. He seemed to have particularly admired the Impressionists and the Old Masters. His works are in the collections of the Rockport Art Association and the Cape Ann Historical Society Museum. During the summers in the 1930's Sam painted in Rockport, Massachusetts, where a new wave of New York City artists had migrated, drawn by the natural beauty of this little fishing and stone quarrying town, as well as the possibility of living more economically. He became a member of the Rockport Art Assoc in 1932. It was in Rockport that he did most of his watercolors, oils, lithos, and etchings, although he continued to draw and paint cityscapes and still lifes all his life.
He died at age 60, in June, 1961, of cancer. He is survived by his wife, daughter, son-in-law Abner Diamond, son, daughter-in-law, and four grandchildren."

The Fred Elton Award
"The Fred Elton Award was established to honor the memory of composer/lyricist Fred Elton. His life was brief but his musical legacy lives on, not just in the works he created but in the family of musicians that play his piano, create silly songs and share his love of tritones. We hope that it will help deserving students achieve all their musical dreams. It is given with love by Faye Greenberg, David Lawrence & Mable Elton Lawrence."
Link to page with the above. Nice photo of Fred, who resembles Henry. The infant with him is his daughter, Faye Greenberg, who is also a songwriter. David Lawrence (son of Steve Lawrence and Edie Gorme) is Faye's husband and songwriting partner. Mabel Elton Lawrence is their daughter.
Fred's published songs are cataloged on the Data Base Of Popular Music website

Izzy and Bessie's 50th Anniversary
David Marowitz recalls that it was held on 2nd Avenue in the 60's. I had had the false memory of it being in the 50's. The 1910 census lists Izzy as unmarried which is consistent with David's recollection.

From an email from Ruth Cameron
...."Some of the Lozowicks changed their name to Lane so as to get jobs. Hence Harry Lozowick was also the father of Bert and Eddie. I guess it was Dora, and not her daughter Marion, who married first Sam, and then his brother Harry, Lozowick.
Jonah PULMOWSKI was the name. He married Ida ROSENBERG. Her brother, Baruch, settled in England and had 4 or 5 children, most of whom we know fairly well: Mary Rosenberg Baum; Sophie Rosenberg Salmons, and Harry Rose. Mary was the mother of the 4 Baum boys and Linda, some of whom are/were well known to Mom and Dad, and Phil and Beth Waldor. Sophie Nan will remember well. She and her husband, Mickey, went to the Ukraine in the 1970's and met some of the Rosenberg relatives, notably a woman in her '80's (the men of her generation having been deported) and her middle-aged sons. I recall Sophie saying that they were "all doctors and musicians." But then she would say that (strong on emphasis and possibly shorter on accuracy). Lillian Salmons Gellnick, Sophie's daughter, might have more details. I could get her phone number if you want. Not in touch for years.
The Pullman children: IZZY, son of Jonah's first marriage, born c. 1890; came to NYC at about 16 when his mother died...DORA, 6 months younger, daughter of the second wife (Ida)...MINNIE, born c. 1892...SAM, born c. 1900... PAUL (born Saul) 1902..., MILLIE, born c. 1904, CELIA, born c. 1906, and the baby, EDDIE, born c. 1912.
Dora you know. Minnie married a Mr Marshall (another anglicised name) and they had 2 daughters: Sylvia, died young, divorced, no kids (45ish) and is it Millie? or similar? Mairowitz, mother of the Johanna Marshall Robert sent a link to. I remember Johanna as a little girl, very fussed over as an only child. I think she was younger than Robert?
Sam married Anna Javits (cousin of the late senator or was he governor?) Had Mimi and then Norman.
Paul you know.
Millie married Henry Seigel and they had Freddie and Judy; both died young. Judy had 2 children: Lisa and then Andy. They must be around somewhere.
Celia married Hank Horowitz and they had 3 girls. Actually I think she must have married someone else earlier because the oldest girl, Edith, who married a Cohen, seemed separate from the younger ones: Helen and Carol. Possibly Helen and Carol had a 3rd sister (other than their half-sister Edith). Nan will remember Carol I think. She's halfway between us in age, nice person, a teacher, and visited us in the UK when Rob was small.
I well remember when Celia died because no one notified the NYC area relatives (she was living in Fla) and Dad heard about it when someone in the Fla area made the connection and sent him a news clipping...what a shock and how very insensitive. I can see his face now. We were in Cresskill by then.
Eddie married first Jean, who became mentally ill and eventually died in an asylum; they had Barry, born 1938, who married an Englishwoman; eventually they moved back to the States and later divorced. They had 2 kids: Jane and David, Jane being Rob's age (I seem to recall to the day but that might be a false memory!), i.e., 40 and David a few years younger. I think that Barry is still there. Might be in Texas. His younger brother, Michael, I know little about.

Freddie Siegel
Freddie Siegel was a song writer who died young, of leukemia I think. He had one hit song, "You You Romeo", initially recorded by Steve Lawrence and Edie Gorme. Others covered it, notably Shirley Bassey:

From Yulia Ivashschenko
Hello, Robert!
You are predicted by Relative Finder as my 3th Cousin.
I have Ukrainian, Polish, Austrian, Jewish, Moldavian/Serbian ancestry.
Ukrainian, Polish, Austrian surnames: Ivashchenko, Dzyuman, Labysh, Gretchaniy, Tchernenko. They lived in Kiev gubernia.
Moldavian/Serbian surnames: Sorotchan, Myrza. They lived in Kherson gubernia.
My Jewish line this is line of my grandmother (my father's mother).
Those surnames from her family trees: Kamenetsky, Blyakher, Burchteyn, Zaslavsky, Natanzan, Berdytchevsky, Tomaschpol'sky.
2 sisters my great-grandfather immigrated to USA and Canada from 1914-1920.
I think the connection in the family trees should be by female lines. But I don't know any female surnames. You can look at my family tree here: http://forum.vgd.ru/post/165/22000/p570584.htm#pp570584
My Jewish ancestors lived:
- in Tcherkassy (Kiev gubernia) from 1850 to 1930;
- in Shpola (Kiev gubernia) from 1816 to 1915;
- in Boguslav (1795(?) - 1850), before 1795 may be in Kamenets-Podolsky (Podolsky gubernia)and Belarus or Litva/Polish.
Best,
Yuliya

Robert,
what surnames had your ancestors?
My great-grandfather (Yakov Blyakher) had 2 sisters, they immigrated to USA and Canada.
One of sisters (Ester Blyakher) married Zaslavsky and went to Canada (Monreal), soon they moved to Philadelphia. They had 2 children.
The second one (Lyuba Blyakher) was ballerina, she married and went to USA. I dont know her husband's surmame.
But, this information can be a mistake.
Best Regards,
Yuliya

Allan,
It was so great talking with you just now! I am copying this to my brother, Robert Pullman, so both of you can keep in touch. Also my sister Ruth Cameron, who at the moment is totally unaware of any of these inquiries, so it will be a surprise for her. Because neither he nor I nor Ruth remember our various relatives, for this email at least, I will be including information which you already know.
Bob had had his DNA tested, out of curiosity, and several strangers have written asking if we might be related--including one woman in the Ukraine--and this made us realize that we have very little information about the Pullman side of the family.
I called your sister, Janice Waldor, at the number you gave me, (973) 721 4005, but I could not get through. Maybe she can call me.
I did locate your niece (daughter of your sister Arlene Wiener) Ellen Stern in Boca, (561) 482 3567, and she will call me back--she was on her way out; she was very excited about this.
My number is (561) 495 5412 and cell (561) 702 9192. Best to call me in the morning.
Here is a synopsis of what you told me--more for Bob's and Ruth's benefit (and mine, I will print this out for reference) than for yours; correct me if anything is wrong:
Your mother was Marion Lozowick Waldor, daughter of Izzy and Dora. Dora was our father's sister, I believe, in which case Lozowick would have been Izzy's last name. Am I right?
You mentioned that your sister Janice Waldor is the family historian.
Fay Greenberg Lawrence, originally Fay Siegel (Millie & Henry Siegel's granddaughter, adopted by her stepfather Greenberg) married the son of Steve Lawrence and Eddie Gorme; she and her husband created the music for "High School Music"; I will let my son know this.
That's about all I got from our all-too-brief talk. Your phone number is (609) 395 1565 and, according to the internet, you live at 2 Barbara Fritchie Ct, Monroe Township NJ 08831. Correct?
I live at 14782 Wood Lodge Lane, Delray Beach FL 33484

From Ruth Cameron
Are you sure that Marion's father was called Izzy? Wasn't it Sam? Or Harry? Or maybe that was her husband's name? There was an account Mom used to tell me about how Marion was married first to the one brother (Harry or Sam) and then he died (in wartime?) so she eventually married his brother.
Phil Waldor, Allan's elder/est son, and his wife, Beth, stayed with us for a month or two in 1975/6, at the beginning of his 6-month residency in South London. He went on to become a surgeon. We kept in touch for awhile, and visited them in Phila. the following year, but then drifted apart as you do. They had 1 baby then, but later 2 more, all girls, and we saw Beth and the girls when they were en route to Israel some 12 years later. They're very nice people; we often wondered what had become of them all.

Janice Waldor's number is 973 731 4005
Spelling: Arleen Waldor
Fay Elton not Fay Siegel--her father Freddy changed his name to Elton
Marion Waldor was the daughter of Harry Lozowick and Dora Pullman; his brother Louis Lozowick was famous; her brothers were Bert Lane and Eddy Lane
Janice Waldor's number is 973 731 4005

Allan,
I just got off the phone with your sister Janice; she said to ask you for details! (So much for your claim of her being the "family historian") Below is what I began to pull together, but there are so many holes. Can you give as much information as you can remember? Just type stuff--I will sort it out into a structured family tree.
Right now, if you can supply my grandfather Jonah's original name (Janice couldn't remember it) before you do anything else, and send it to me in a reply, that will help a lot. My brother and that Ukrainian possible relative have been emailing information back and forth, but without even an approximation of my grandfather's name, we are stuck.
Here is what I have compiled so far:
Jonah Pullman real original last name: ______________
Ida Pullman neé _____________
In order: Izzy, Sam, Paul, Eddie (sons)
Daughters (not in order): Dora, Minnie, Millie
Do you know the order of all the children?
Minnie had Sylvia & Mildred Marshall
Mildred neé Marshall had Johanna
Dora (neé Pullman) Lane (married name) had Marion, Bert & Eddie (what order?)
Marion (neé Lane) Waldor had Allan, Arleen & Janice (what order?)
Eddie Lane’s children:
Bert Lane’s children:
Etc.

Robert.......I'm back now at the computer so I can chat a bit now. M mother passed away about 4 years ago. It was rough. She had health problems and then dementia was setting in. Miss her. My father is still going strong , being 88 next month. Still lives in N.Y. at the house you & Nan came to. He has a movie memorabilia business from the house. He advertises in a mag. called "Classic Images". I built a website for him and he sends me the ad every month and I put it on his site. He wants nothing to do with computers and anything that's technical/modern. His site is :www.davidmarowitz.net aka the lucky star. His e mails come to me and I answer based on what he tells me for customers. And that's the way that works. check it out if you're into old movies sometime.
I truly don't remember that about Sylvia. I barely remember you & Nan, but I do.
I'm in California now. Have been since 1977. I won't go into the details of my life the past 10 years, but let's say I've been crawling back or up the ladder to where I want to be. My passion is to be a performer, and of course trying to sell my music to whomever will lend me an ear. Things have changed a lot in 30 years. It's even tougher now.
so that's it for just an insight into me now.

Robert, I talked to my father this morning about hearing from you. He was recalling people, places ,etc, that I have no recollection of. He lives in Spring Valley which is about a half hour from the city. (over the Tappan Zee Bridge) If you wanted to call him his # is 845.623-8115. He has a special rate on his phone so if you call him, he can call you back so it won't cost you.
Your pictures are lovely. I don't know who Bobby Stock is but I am in L.A. also. I'm curious how you found me even though you said you googled me and you didn't know my surname was Marshall. What exactly did you put in as a search to find me?????
Funny, I"ve been all over the world but I've never been to Chicago.................like another N.Y. I presume.......
I didn't know if you saw my site @ www.johannamarshall.net. There's audio & video clips on there. That's basically me even though about 2 years has passed since that was posted. The pix are recent.
I"m sure my father would know any remaining relatives...........Hope you get to talk with him........................
