The Last Of The Immigrants(?)

In November of 1922 Bessie Feldman arrived in Halifax on the Regina from Danzig. Traveling with her were four of her children - Michael ,Sally, Harry, Abe. Passage was paid for by her son Morris. Bessie and the children had been staying with her daughter Manya in Warsaw. Bessie was a widow. Her husband and a son had died of typhoid fever in Russia. There was one other daughter, Fanny, whose whereabouts I am uncertain of. Manya eventually emigrated to Argentina.
