Notes

According the the 1881 British Census, Deborah was a furrier. Her name is misspelled "Delerah."

According to the 1910 Census, Deborah gave birth to 14 children, 13 of whom were still living. She was listed as "Devora" in the 1920 Census.

According to Madeline, Deborah was "ambitious, serious, prudish and proper." She had a very wry sense of humor. She craved an education for her children, but the children had to get it the hard way. She told Madeline that the highlight of her life was when Ray graduated from what is now Hunter College.

Deborah died in 1931 after a long and discouraging illness. She has two namesakes -- Deborah Alice Wekselblatt and Deborah Joan Benjamin.30,31
