Notes for Benjamin RAPHAEL
1920 U.S. Census says that both he and his wife were born in Russia, immigrated in 1896, and naturalized in 1913. While is may be true for his wife, it is not true for Benjamin who was born in Pittsburgh.

Obituary refers to 13 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild. [1443]
