Bobbi At Work

After my maternal grandfather died in the early 1920's my grandmother, Dora Ferman, went back to work in this factory. She's the woman on the right. Apparently they were furriers. Prior to getting married I found my grandmother listed in the 1910 census as an operator at shirtwaist factory! Bobbi and me in 1949 Bobbi's favorite singer was Aaron Lebedeff

Life Ilgwu 1938
Displayed at the Grey Art Gallery in remembrance of the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire 100th anniversary. I was curious to find out whether Yetta Henner was still alive. I assumed she married Hy Stofsky, her boyfriend in the article. Sadly, a Yetta Stofsky passed away in 1995 in Florida at the same age Yetta Henner would have been. Living where she did on Rivington Street her family may have known the Greenglass family from around the corner. She was around the same age as Ethel.
