About Jay J. Rubenstein
Jerome Rubenstein (Jay Rubenstein's son) writes: "Neither of my parents are buried in the St. Louis cemetery at North and South and Olive Streets. Dad was buried in a Peoria cemetery when he died, July, 1947. My mother donated her body to Washington University Medical School. Ida Besser's husband [Ida was Jay's sister] was Herbert Besser, a St. Louisan. They moved to Little Rock in the forties, where Herb went to work for Ida Besser's brother, Charles [Jay's brother], in his clothing store, Rube and Scott. Their other child was Sanford. known as Sandy, who became a successful money manager for a large company in Little Rock. Elaborating on another of your e-mails, my father's first name was Jacob. I think he was called Jake during his growing up years in Alton. My parents who were married when Dad got out of the Army at the end of the first World War moved to St. Louis in 1933. In his later years he was known as J.J. or, most commonly, Jay. Once again, I never heard of Gabriel [I speculated that Max Reib Rubenstein had a brother named Gabriel who lived in Alton and in Muscatine at the same time as Max and was also in the same business]."
In his own handwriting he writes while serving in the Army in WW I (attached in Sources Tab):
"I have been in Iron and Scrap Steel business for past 11 years, and am head of firm Rubenstein Bros. of St. Louis, MO and Alton, IL. I was called in draft but waived my exemption which I was entitled to(o) on account of being head of family. I enlisted on May 14th. I closed my St. Louis office to go into service. I had two other brothers from my firm in service also."
