Message Board Post:
Looking for Master Isaac Cohn living in NYC in 1889. Unfortunately, do not have age or if born in states or not. What I do know is he was the nephew of Gussie Fannie Kempner Lyons of Van Buren, Crawford County, AR. He would have been of traveling age in 1889 (doesn't state any other family member). Gussie Fannie Kempner Lyons was born in Krakow. She has two known older half sisters: Ester Bayla (b. ca. 1835) and Pessel (b. ca 1843). She may have had other sisters born 1853-1861 in Krakow. Family name was Klempner in Krakow. Suspect sister also lived in NY since Gussie Fannie's brother Joseph visited his sister in the city in 1894.
Other siblings in the US that may be familiar are Moses H Kempner of Idaoh, Bernard Kempner of Arkansas (he and wife actually returned to Krakow maybe leaving children Lena and Max behind in early 1870's), and Jacob Kempner of Little Rock AR.
Any leads would be greatly appreciated
