What we still don't know
- When she came to America, when she died and where she is buried are all unrecorded. She is not among the sixteen Seligs at Mount Hebron, but she would be buried under Nathanson.
- Her husband is unknown. He does not appear in the 1920 household, so he had probably died before it.
