About Ida Savetman Cohen

Ida (Savetman) Cohen was my grandfather Harry Savetman's sister.

She was born in Bialystok, according to Julius Cohen's 1908 Petition for Naturalization filed in Baltimore.

The censuses don't agree on her birth year, but it was probably around 1870, and this corresponds to her marriage record and to Jeanette (Savetman) Friedel's family timeline as recorded by Rochelle Savetman. It looks like she was the oldest of the four surviving Savetman siblings, the next one being Solomon (Sam) born in 1873, then Harry (1877), then Ester Malke (probably 1879).

I was able to obtain a scan of her original  marriage record from Bialystok, handwritten in Russian and posted here and translated, which gives the date as Aug 21, 1891. There was a ketuba, and a 60-ruble fee of some sort. She's 20 years old and  is identified as "Chaya Genia David-Ickovna Savetman"--in other words, the daughter of David-isaac Savetman, same as her sister Ester Malke  when she married in 1897.  The groom is identified as Judel Gersovitz Sadrin, but it looks like he morphed into Julius Cohn (Cohen) at some point after he emigrated to Baltimore because his age and their marriage date match the censuses.

Their oldest child Herman was born in 1900. His birth was recorded in the register of Jewish births in Bialystok in that year. The baby's name was Srojel (Israel) Savrin (Sawryn in Polish). His parents were Judel Savrin, son of Srajel-Chaim , and Chaia-Genia. daughter of Isaac-David [Savetman]. An image of the original record, in Russian, was downloaded from the Bialystok branch of the Polish National Archives and is posted here and translated. Julius probably immigrated to Baltimore in 1900. Ida apparently joined him in 1902--the years aren't clear. They had 2 other children, both born in Maryland-- Jacob (later Jack Savrin Cohen) in 1903 and Moses Cohen in 1905.

Julius and Ida were both naturalized in 1909. At that time, his occupation was carpenter. He later became a builder.

They lived in Baltimore, for many years on Pimlico Road. She died on Sept 3, 1946 and was buried in the Hebrew Young Men's Sick Relief Cemetery (now the Beth Shalom Hebrew Young Men's Cemetery) at 5830 Windsor Mill Road in Baltimore. Julius died in 1951.
