About Sarah Herbst

Sarah married Lazar Herbst after her sister and Lazar's second wife Hinda Chiah had died at the age of 24. Lazar had first been married to a local girl (her name is unknown). Lazar had a son by his first marriage, Yisrael Yoel Herbst, who married Lena Fisch; their son, Nat Herbst, came to New York in 1902. Nat married Yetta Blatt and the couple moved to Forest Hills, New York.

Hinda Chiah and had one child, Breindl who was brought up as the daughter of Sarah and Lazar. Breindl later married her mother's brother Toivia.

Several members of the Herbst and Fisch families intermarried with members of the Tenzer family. They all became one big family, and many summered at Pine Brook and Caldwell, New Jersey. At one time, Isaac Fisch, his two sons, Alex and Sam, worked for Michael Tenzer. Michael loaned Isaac Fisch money and the two became partners in a farm in Pine Brook, New Jersey.

One of Isaac's daughters, Rae, married into the Konner family. The Konners owned a garage in Pine Brook, then branched out; their grandsons then operated several automobile dealerships in northern New Jersey. Stanley Batkin remembers their weekly automobile trips to Pine Brook during the summer when he was a child from the age of five until the age of ten. They always stopped at the Konners to repair their tires——two flat tires were par for the course on a trip in those days.
