Founder and First President of the Hebrew Ladies Aid Society

=============================================

In most genealogies, Fanny is listed as being called "Pauline", but in the family bible, the name is shown as "Paulina", and she was called Fanny. It is possible that the spelling actually was with a terminal "e", but it is not likely. Her tombstone also shows a terminal "a". (Wendy Hoechstetter, 12/5/2012)
