Isadore Levinson autobiography (history of Isaac Solomon Levinson). P. 22: "My brother Sol. was working then in the city of Suwalk, at his tailor trade. He married there, and after a year past a boy was born to them and they named him Abraham. In the year 1865, brother Isaac Sol. was drafted for a soldier in the Russian army." / P. 49: "My brother, his wife Rachel, a son Abraham, and two daughters, Kate and Esther were living in one room on the fourth floor of a tenement house in the Bishopgate district" (late 1879) / Pp. 15–16: IL says that when he, IL, was in his 12th year (that would be 1869), his brother Sam left for Warsaw. / P. 23: "My brother Sam at this time . . . left the city of Warsaw for Stockholm, Sweden"; but there is no specification of what "this time" is. Perhaps 1871 or 1872. / P. 54: "My brother Sam and Meyer Ber, a son of Leybl Goldsmith from Vishey, in the year of 1875 left the city of Warsaw for Sweden. They peddled there, and as soon as they saved up enough money, they left for America in 1876." / P. 88: "After the second Passover of my coming to this Country [in 1881], the S.S. Co’s. were cutting passage rates, $15.00 from Anverbien Norway [presumably Antwerp, Belgium] to Philadelphia Pen. was the lowest, I bought a ticket and I sent it to London, for my father who came there with my youngest brother, and I told them to choose themselves who to go first they dicided that brother Isaac Sol shall go first and as he can earn more money. " / Isadore Levinson autobiography (locations of the brothers in Chicago). MS, p. 109: "My Brother Sam at that time [1886] had a grocery store at Halstead and Dusold St." Dusold St. (now gone) used to be just north of Maxwell St. By the Chicago street renumbering of 1909, 480 S. Halsted became 1225 S. Halsted. Maxwell is now 1330 S. So 480 S. Halsted, the address of the Levinson shop in 1886, would have been a block north. But the directory lists *Isaac* Levinson as clerk at that address, along with "Annie," the wife of the unnamed grocer, who must be Isadore. Marriage record at JRI-Poland.
