Above, Rachel Leah Ostrovsky, taken at the Fellison Studio on West Fifth Street in Cincinnati, Ohio. I have no idea when it was taken.

Below, my mother's Aunt Sophie Ostrovsky Ephrath, born in 1880.

Below... another photo of Sophie.

Below: Two of my mother's first cousins. On the left, Ida Karzen Tepper, daughter of Eta Ostrovsky Karzensky and Labe Karzensky, b. August 3, 1892, d. February 13, 1963.

On the right Emma Pollack Fialcow, daughter of Sonia "Sunny" Ostrovsky Pollack.

My mother's note on the back of the picture on the left says that the girl in the carriage is "Esther Ostrow, Lou & Seniel's sister." Louis, Seniel, and Esther Ostrow were the children of Morris Ostrow and Mary Eisenberg Ostrow, who divorced. Dates are uncertain.

Esther Ostrow Sokolow was born April 1, 1902.
