William E. Kelly, Clerk of the Supreme Court”
Per Rhonnie, in email dated 5/7/02: “According to what my father told me, his father [Solomon] left the old country in 1904...I think Balowitz is not the actual family name. My father once mentioned they had a different surname in Poland but he couldn’t remember it.”
According to Sylvie, the Balowitz family owned a 2-family house on Warwick Street (East NY) near the New Lotts Ave IRT Station. Sylvie was born there.
There was a farm in East NY that Zadie would go to buy goat milk for Bubbie.
Granddaughter, Barbara Krimsky, remembers visiting Samuel and Celia on a farm that had no electricity.
