My mother-in-law grew up in Hamilton and knew a bit of the Rosen family. Of course her oldest sister remembers Sadie and her brother remembered Harry. Ben Rosen (David Rosen's brother) gravestone contains his photo. The Rosens and the Cohens had their first contact in Hamilton, years before Jeff and Lisa would be born and eventually wed. Minnie Rosen was born in her house in Whitby, while older brother Ben watched through the window Michael Gollom was married twice as his first wife Sarah Oppenheim died early on. Michael and his 2 wives were deaf mutes. Michael was a tailor and the 2 women were both teachers of the deaf. Katie (Gollom) Rosen and her two sisters, Goldie and Rose, came to Canada (from England) in the early 1900's as beautiful young eligible women to avoid the stigma at the time attached to these birth defects in the parents and improve their own marriage prospects. |
