Photoessay #1942 - Dead end

Today Gin and I looked for some descendants of Reginald Zunder, Maier's youngest child born in 1880 when Maier was 51. I was hoping to trace his descendants and ask them if they had any pictures.

But I think I hit a dead end.

We know that Reginald lived in the greater New York area and worked as an executive of some sort with B'nai B'rith. We know his wife was Mae. We know they had two daughters. Myra (b 1911) and Ruth (b 1914). I knew that Myra married Herbert Henry Lewson (a soldier) in 1942. He died in 1987. She died in 2007.

By screwing around with the New York Times, we found that Myra and Herbert had a son Robert Z. Lewson in 1948 but he died at age 57 in 2005. No marriages or children listed in his obit. Ruth Zunder married Hymen Shapiro and she died in 1966. No children mentioned in her obit. Still possible that Ruth Zunder Shapiro and her nephew Robert Z. Lewson had children that we just don't know about. But I would think they would be listed on the obit.

I wanted to find somebody to contact to see if they had pictures.

I have no pictures of Reginald at all. I'm thinking there have to be some but where to find them? He's buried at Mt Ararat Cemetery in New York.

This picture of Mishkan Israel cemetery is taken from somebody else's photo album. Shows how we are all lost.

Is that East Rock or West Rock in the background...I should know.
