from Barbara West:

" I know little of grandmother Anna, who died in 1932. I do have her death certificate. It indicates her name as Anna Leah Chesler, and her father's name as Joseph Harris. She died at the age of 71. The death certificate said she had been in the country 44 years. I never heard of her name as Anastasia! Tho supposedly she originally was from St. Petersburg, and Mirzah said she spoke in French to Mirzah on her deathbed. I visited grandma and grandpa in Lakewood, and remember her as a great cook, and warm and loving person. I believe she directed some plays at the local synagogue. Incidentally, they were religious (don't believe any of their children were), and I remember Grandpa (who lived with us and Judith's family for a few years after Anna died) walking around the house every evening saying his prayers aloud, wrapped in his prayer shawl, etc. and reading from the bible. He, incidentally, was quite inventive, and rigged up a shower in our bathroom , and did other little things around the house."
