      Eva mother's maiden name is unclear as Windyl Elemsky is listed on 
      Eva Rosenblum's death certificate (2) 
      of 1915.  Also on the death certificate, her father 
      is listed as Max Lehner and witness is Louis Lehner (probably her elder 
      brother). 
      I believe she and her husband Israel Rosenblum, a tailor, in Worcester, MA are listed in Minnie Weiss Baby book (3) as 
       
      dress & peticoat gift giver Mr. & Mrs. I. Rosenblum. 
      Her gravestone (4,

      suggests she had children.
