Jennie Marks

Jennie was widowed after 7 years of marriage. Iwasn't around then but sometime after her sons were about school age, she opened a small store and she carried lovely china, glass and I believe other household items. It was located on W. Ferry St. in Buffalo, N.Y. She never married again and I remember she wore only black clothing. Her son Bertram never married because he felt obligated to take care of her. His brother Sidney married after serving in the Navy during World War 1.....he had been stationed in Chicago at Great Lakes. He met Vera Lazar at Riverview Park one evening ( I am told it was a pick up) and that was "IT" I was the first born and I had a brother Albert Joseph Krohn who died of Melanoma at the age of27 years. He left a wife and a son. Son Bradley died at the age of 42....Heart attack! I am 87 now and hope to be around for maqny more years!!!!!
