Rose (Glassberg) Cohen
Rose Glassberg was born at Drohobycz in Austrian Galicia on 25 January 1896, in a house numbered 283 in the Zagrody quarter. The register at Drohobycz calls her Rosa Trattel, two given names, and she was named for her mother's mother, who was already dead. Her father was Nuchem, a merchant, and her mother Reisel Durchschnitt, and the entry records that the two of them were married only under Mosaic law and not before the state, which is why the clerk wrote nieslubne in the column for legitimacy and entered the child under a surname she would never use in America.
Her elder sister Gussie went out to New York first, following a husband who had sailed in 1912. In the summer of 1914 Gussie came back across for her, and on 5 August the two of them landed at Ellis Island off the President Lincoln out of Hamburg, Rose eighteen years old, single, and put down as a housemaid. Her sister paid her passage. Both women named the same man as the relative they were leaving behind: their father, at Drohobycz.
She was in New York five years before she married. By the end of 1919 she was living at 287 South 4th Street in Williamsburg; Philip Cohen lived at 363, a few doors along the same street, and they married on 1 December. Both gave their age as twenty one; he was twenty and she was twenty three. Their son Murray was born in March 1921 and their daughter Florence about 1924.
She appears beside Philip at Assembly District 16 in Brooklyn in 1930 and 1940, both times with her birthplace given as Austria, and again in 1950 at Atlantic Beach in Nassau County. Philip died in Florida in 1977.
