“The rabbi, who was 45 years old and a bachelor, is survived by one sister in Jerusalem and a brother in the United States.”
From The Galveston Daily News, Mon., 11 Mar 1929 citated in Farshlufen’s link above.
Very interesting. Whoever wrote this matzeivah was quite eloquent. I wonder what the surviving brother’s last name was.
Interesting to now that at the time of Rabbi Goodman-Bursetown’s living, the officila rabbi of Adath Emes was Rabbi Berachia Mayerowitz, see here:
