In the 1905 New York state census of Manhattan, “Jacoma” Reina, age 62 (b. 1843), who owns a tobacco factory, heads a household at 334 East 106th St. with his wife “Joseph”, 52 (b. 1853), and children Joe, 22 (b. 1883), a barber, Sadie, 18 (b. 1887), cigar maker, Bessie, 17 (b. 1888), who works at sewing, and Jennie, 13 (b. 1891), at school.
