Biography

Miriam was born on 3 April 1856 in Hungary. She was the daughter of Saloman Finkelstein and Rose Poterrosen, both of Hungary. ^[1]

Mirriam died on 29 October 1925 at McKeesport, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, United States of America. ^[2]

Her husband was buried beside her in West View Cemetery, Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.

Research Notes

• Removed marriage location as it is not confirmed by sources and their daughter's marriage registration gives her birth in Russia in 1878.^[3]
• Four (4) year difference between birth year on death registration and gravestone. Have used the earlier date. If she was born in 1860 she would have been only 12 when she is suppose to have married Isaac.
