Pop-up Pedigree

Birth* 15 September 1892  Samuel Gross was born on 15 September 1892 at Russia.1,2 
  He was the son of Shmuel Beryl Gross and Kalie Goldie Kushner
Occupation*   Samuel was generally known to be a Contractor in young women's clothing. Throughout the years he ran his factory, Sam provided work for his brothers and sisters as machinists, cutters and book-keepers. Once he started his own operation he contracted work from manufacturers and later in life he had 60 sewing machine operators as well as cutters, pressers, etc.2
 
Immigration* 1905  He immigrated in 1905 to NY, US; from TRESTINYE, County of Bialystok, Province of GRODNO, in Czarist Russia.3 
Note   SAMUEL GROSS
I know that most of these “tales” have been about me and my side of the family. Here’s one about the Gross side of the family. When your Great-Grandfather Sam Gross was only thirteen, he embarked ALONE on a ship which took him to the NEW WORLD. He had no adult with him but would be met in New York by an adult member of either his father’s or mother’s family who had come here before him - I do not know which side.
In fact, in order to enter the U.S.A. you had to have somebody who would be responsible for you when you arrived. He embarked on the S.S.ROTTERDAM and lived in steerage at the bottom of the ship with lots of other immigrants making the crossing. They were given very little by way of good food. Soup and bread were daily meals. One day, I believe it was while the steerage passengers were allowed out on a lower deck for some air and light, 13 year old Sam Gross was asked by a cook’s assistant whether he’d like to have a piece of herring. Of course, Grandpa Sam said yes. The catch was that he had to peel potatoes in order to get that piece of herring. Sam jumped at the opportunity. So every day, he peeled potatoes, and every day he had his piece of herring with his bread and soup.
The irony of this story is that when Sam and Ida Gross made their first ocean voyage back from Europe to the US (having visited Israel first - to which they had flown) the ship that they booked a first class stateroom on was the ROTTERDAM. We think it was the Rotterdam III, but nobody knew for sure. Grandpa Sam told us the story MANY TIMES while chortling over the fact that he could order whatever he wanted from the superb menus offered....and he didn’t have to peel one potato. - Alice Gross Brooks.

 
(*) Cen-Head 15 April 1910  Samuel Gross is enumerated on the census of 15 April 1910 at East 8th St, Manhattan, New York Co, NY. in the household of Shmuel Beryl Gross as Samuel Gross age 18, son, Immigrated in 1905, occupation an operator in a clothing factory; April 19.4 
Marriage* 31 December 1916  Samuel Gross married Ida Cohen, daughter of Samuel Cohen and Esther Schmuckler, on 31 December 1916.1,2 
Note   SAM AND IDA GROSS
When Sam Gross and Ida Cohen were married, Sam’s youngest sister, Janet (who was born with the name Frieda) was so unhappy to know that her big brother was going to live far away from home, she carried on until they agreed to take her with them. So, she became their little girl in many ways. She lived with them until Irving was born a year later. Janet was eight years older than her nephew. It was a wonderful relationship between Sam and Ida and little sister Janet and remained that way for their entire adult lives. She was the daughter they never had. So, if you ever wondered why Grandpa and I always said “Aunt Janet and Uncle Lou” when they were people just a little older than we, that’s what the true relationship was.
After Irving was born, Janet went back to live in her parents’ home and Sam and Ida proceeded to bring up their family in Kingston, NY. Sam had a small shop there and came home for lunch every day. During the first two months of marriage, Ida cooked up a storm and used all sorts of rich foods....so much so, that she gained 40 pounds in those two months! She loved garlic and often rubbed a slice of fresh rye bread with a garlic bud until it made a creamy froth. One day, when Sam came home for lunch, he said whatever she was cooking smelled wonderful. Then he kissed her and yelled! “What’s that stink?” She couldn’t imaging what he was talking about and he was disgusted with the odor from the lips of his darling young bride. He made her promise never to do that again, no matter how much she was tempted. It seems that Ida loved extreme flavors. Arnie and Ken remember very well how their Grandma Ida enjoyed biting into a hot cherry pepper, screwing her face up into a pinch and saying “Mm...that’s good!”
But over the years, there was nobody who could compare to Ida’s ability to cook and bake superbly. Her kitchen was always full of tempting and delicious foods and her recipes were treasures. If you look into my recipes file on my computer, you’ll find some of Ida Gross’ specials - Alice Brooks Gross.

 
Note*   A LOVING, BUT NOT VERY PATIENT, FATHER
One day when Sam Gross came home for lunch, Ida was giving the baby (Irving) some cooked cereal. She turned the bowl over to Sam and said, “You feed him and I’ll get your lunch on the table.” Irving was not a good eater. He was the baby with the closed mouth....and didn’t take food that eagerly. Sam managed to get one or two spoons of cereal into the baby’s mouth and then, nothing. As he tried and the baby turned his head away from side to side, the young father became more and more frustrated. Finally, Ida heard an explosive sound of annoyance from Sam and a cry from the child. She turned to see the cereal bowl turned over on top of the baby’s head and the cereal pouring down his face. Did you ever see a photo like that? It’s a commercial thing, but our story is true and pre-dates that photo by many, many years. And the food was cereal, not spaghetti as in the commercial photo.

Note   THE FAMILY MAN
You may or may not know that your Grandfather/Great-Grandfather, Sam Gross, was a man who cared greatly about family. Not just his immediate family, but all of the family on both sides.
Long before I became a member of the Gross family, I heard stories about his generosity even when he didn’t have much more than anyone else. After the stock market crash of 1929, times were extremely difficult for the average family and many close families shared whatever they could. In the mid-thirties there were many times when Sam and Ida paid for rent or food for other members of their birth families, but the most unusual instance of his concern for others came when he was asked for a fairly large sized loan. He didn’t have the money to lend, but he took a loan on his own name and gave the money to the brother asking for it. It was a very long time before it was ever repaid and that was the only reason that I heard about it. When it finally was repaid I had already married into the family, so it was probably outstanding a good ten years.
The story goes too, that Sam was a very considerate boss. Many of the workers in the shop he ran as a contractor in ladies’ junior sportswear, knew that if he could do it, he’d lend them money for emergency purposes. He knew he would never become a rich man, but he was happy with being a man who made a comfortable living, taught values to his sons by his example, cared for family and neighbors and earned the respect and love of all who knew him. - Alice Brooks Gross.

Pop-up Pedigree

Birth* 7 May 1969  Sandra Gross was born on 7 May 1969 at Brooklyn, Kings Co, NY
  She is the daughter of Arnold Stuart Gross and Elizabeth Miriam Gilman
Note*   When Sandy was thirty-two months old, her mom took her to a rehearsal that her father was having with the orchestra for an Industrial Show. Arnie was marking his score with a pencil which he kept in his hand while conducting. One of the actors, Van Johnson, strolled down the aisle, saw Sandy sitting there and, to be friendly, struck up a conversation. He asked Sandy whether she knew what her Daddy does. “He plays shows,” she said. “Do you know what he plays?” asked the actor. “Don’t you know?” she asked in surprise. Then, looking toward where her Daddy stood, she said, “He plays the pencil.” - Alice Brooks Gross.

Note   THE BRASS CANDLESTICKS
About the heavy brass candlesticks I use every Friday night:
When my Grandmother, Hannah, came to these shores with her husband Abraham Edelman, and two children, she brought some special things with her. I wish I knew more about exactly what was brought here by these young immigrants, but those stories were never told and we can only imagine. I do know, however, that among their possessions were four brass candlesticks. The candlesticks had belonged to my grandmother’s GRANDMOTHER....so you can figure out how old they are likely to be.** When my grandparents, whose name was EDELMAN, purchased the samovar (or if that was one of the items that came with them along with the candlesticks) I do not know.
However, when Grandma Hannah died, her daughter, Ethel, kept two of the candle-holders and my Mom took two. My uncle Dave took the samovar. Eventually, I asked my mother whether I could have the brass candlesticks since I was lighting candles almost every Friday night. She was happy to know that I wanted them and since they were purely decorative in her home, it was okay with her.
Many years later, while I was polishing the brass, I noticed that the two sticks were not exactly matched. I eventually got in touch with my Aunt and, upon examination, discovered that, indeed, none of the four was an exact duplicate of any of the others. They are handmade, you realize, and that accounts for the slight discrepancy. Sandy has asked whether she may have these candlesticks and I am very happy to know that they will be loved and cared for. Hopefully, she will also be able to pass them on to one of her children someday in the far distant future.
**They were probably crafted in the early 1800's. - Alice Brooks Gross.

Father Avram Reuven Gross1
Mother Frume Shane Greenspan2 d. circa 1920
Pop-up Pedigree

Birth* 1862  Shmuel Beryl Gross was born in 1862 at Trestinye, Bialystok, Grodno, Russia.3 
  He was the son of Avram Reuven Gross and Frume Shane Greenspan.1,2 
Note*   Shmuel Beryl Gross was one of the six children of Avram Reuven Gross and Frume Shane Greenspan. He worked as a blacksmith in the town of Trestinye in what, at that time, was Russia but now is Poland. Shmuel married Kalie Kushner who was one of the ten children of Boruch Kushner and his third wife, Itke Kalinsky. Shmuel, like his father, was a very devout man.
Shmuel and Kalie went to work together in the morning and their daughter, Sadie, was left in charge of the household with a list of chores to do. Apparently, Sadie was not too happy about this and would stand in the doorway and yell: "I won't do it! I won't do it!" until her parents were out of sight, and then she'd go on to take care of the younger children and the chores.
A number of the siblings and cousins of Shmuel and Kalie had gone to the United States to escape the pogroms and to make a better life for their children. They settled in New York, Chicago, Pittsburgh and St. Paul. Shmuel came to the United States for about two years, worked as a presser in a clothing factory and saved his money. He went back to Trestinye to send the rest of his family to the USA. The two oldest children, Alex and Sadie, came over first. It is possible that they met their future spouses on the ship coming here. Shmuel wanted to come back by himself again, but Kalie waid that they must all go together. Kalie seemed to be the type of woman that everyone loved. For the first few years after they arrived in the USA, the family lived on East Seventh Street in Manhattan. Then Shmuel bought a piece of land outside of Chatsworth, NJ. Shmuel, Katie and their younger children (Janet and Richard) moved to Chatsworth and stayed as boarders in the town while a house was built and a chicken farm was started. While living on the farm, Janet and Richard [Dick] went to school in the one-room schoolhouse which was a few miles down the road. Of course they walked to school every day.
One evening, Janet and Kalie went to visit a neighbor. It was a moonless and starless night. In order to find her way home, Kalie went down on her hands and knees feeling the road so that they wouldn't wander off and get lost. She knew knew where to turn off the main road to follow the side road to their house because there was a large chestnut tree at that point. The mother and daughter couldn't see any light from the house because the only illumination was from oil lamps and the fireplace and Dick had taken the lamps over to the fireplace so he could read!
After the farm, the family moved to Williamsburg. It was while visiting a friend of Sadye Kurtz's cousin, Jessie, that Kalie first saw Middle Village. They had taken the trolley line from Williamsburg to this farmlike area and Kalie fell in love with Middle Village. Soon afterward, the family bought a house on Hinman Street (later called 75th Street). Shmuel also bought the two lots alongside the house so that he had enough land to plant vegetables and garden.
There was a big synagogue almost directly across the street from the Gross' house. Shmuel had a falling out with the members of the congregation there. Apparently they were not sufficiently orthodox in their worship to suit him, so he [with some other people who felt the same way] founded a new synagogue a few blocks away on Wayne Street.
After Kalie's death, Shmuel Beryl Gross remarried. Apparently he and his new wife thought the other was rich. They were both wrong. In 1939, Shmuel Beryl moved to Israel (which was called Palestine at the time) where he lived out the balance of his life. His children maintained correspondence with him, especially Sadie and Samuel. He, in turn, sent oranges and other fruit at holiday times. After WWII, he lived with his nephew and niece, Shlomo and Chana Gross. He died in 1956 at the age of 94.
Over the years, the children of Shmuel Beryl and Kalie moved from Middle Village to other areas until only Dick and his family were left in the house bought by Shmuel. - Norman Gross.3

He purchased some land in Middle Village, NYC, NY and that became the family homestead. ) - Alice Brooks Gross, as told to her by her mother-in-law, Ida Cohen Gross. futher note: in 1910 census, Shmuel indicated that he first emigrated in 1898.3

Note   ABOUT MIDDLE VILLAGE
On March 28, 1642, William Kieft, Director General of New Netherlands, granted a charter to the territory called Newtown. This was 13,332 acres of what is now QUEENS, and included Maspeth, Newtown, and other villages. As the white, mostly Dutch and English settlers moved in, the Indians sold their forests and fishing grounds and disappeared. In the middle of the ninteenth century, farmers from eastern Queens and Nassau drove their produce to market in Manhattan. The territory half way between Jamaica and the ferry landing at English Kills on Newtown Creek was named MIDDLE VILLAGE.
Current day Middle Village is considered to be the area bounded by Eliot Avenue to the north, Woodhaven Boulevard on the east, the Long Island RR tracks and Cooper Avenue on the south, and Fresh Pond Road to the west. Metropolitan Avenue is the main shopping area as it passes through Middle Village on its route from Jamaica to the Williamsburg Bridge. Near the northern boundary, Juniper Vallley Park is 55 acres of open land and playgrounds. St.John's Cemetery to the east and the Lutheran cemetery to the west occupy a fair amount of the land. Successive waves of immigrants have flowed through middle Village from the early Dutch and English to Germans, Jews of various countries and Italians.
Middle Village was a good place to raise a family. It was a small neighborhood, bounded as it was by the cemeteries, the railroad tracks and Juniper Valley Park, yt it was in New York City and had the city services, education and transportation. It was a neighborhood for upwardly aspiring immigrants where the values of hard work and a good education were instilled in the children at an early age. Crime was almost non-existent; even today, Middle Village is considered one of the safest neighborhoods in New York.
Juniper Valley Park was originally a garbage dump. During the depression it was a "shantytown" (shacks of scrap materials put up by the homeless and the poverty-stricken). After the Depression years, it became an auto racetrack and, finally, a Park. - Norman Gross.

Birth* 3 July 1974  Wendy Sharon Gross was born on 3 July 1974 at Manhattan, New York Co, NY
  She is the daughter of Arnold Stuart Gross and Elizabeth Miriam Gilman
Note*   One of my favorite stories about Wendy has to do with her ability to be friendly with everyone. When she was five she made one day’s salary as an extra in two different movies: “Going in Style” with George Burns and Art Carney and “Starting Over” with Burt Reynolds. She also did a photo shoot for stills on Final Touch, the laundry product. Being a very out-going child, she talked to everyone and when, in a restaurant, some people asked what her name and age were, she told them and then asked, “Would you like my autograph?”
Of course, this is just an extension of what she was like when she was almost two-and-a-half and the family was in Mexico for a holiday. Wendy was very blonde and very bright and she won over the entire dining room staff by asking (at every meal) for “mantequilla, por favor” (which, of course, her parents had carefully taught her). We had more butter than all the other tables in the dining room because all of the wait staff wanted to hear “the little blonde angel” say that phrase. - Alice Brooks Gross.
