    Notes 
    • The tombstone says age 64 in November 1939 she may have died before her birthday in 1939 and then her birth year would have been 1874. According to the note in the Jewish Families of Rezekne in the all Latvia Database at JewishGen she is 30 in 1903. This could have been later in the year after she had a birthday indicating a birth year of1873.

      Her tombstone says her father is Jacob and the Familes record says his name was Schmuel Itzik. This will have to be resolved.

      For now she appears to be the best match for a Mary Horowitz from Rezekne born about 1875.

    Notes 
    • The Sarah Mary Horowitz in the Families of Rezekne database with a birth year very close indicates a match. It is troubling that the name of her father on her headstone is Jacob and in the Latvian record it is Schmuel Itzik.

      It depends on who gave the information to the tombstone engraver. When you think of the three names so often spoken together Abraham, Isaac and Jacob perhaps the Isaac and Jacob got mixed up in the mind of the informant?

      I propose to link this couple until I hear to the contrary.

    • This family can be researched and the information verified. It is marked for follow up. The cemetery records in NY may have the name of her husband and family.
