Sarah Goldstick was married to Wolf Goldstick. Their daughter Celia married Mr. Louis Goodman, and they had two daughters, Dina and Rose. Dina only lived until the age of two. The surviving child, Rose, was born in Chicago. She married Mac Snider during the 1920s, and they had two children, Jordon and Susan, who were born in 1929 and 1935 respectively. Her husband died at a young age in March 1935, leaving Rose a young widow.

Scope and Content

This family portrait includes four generations of Goldsticks: Sarah Goldstick (far right), Celia Goodman (left), Rose Snider (back) and her son Jordon (in front). The photograph was taken in Toronto at Simpson Brothers Studio on Yonge Street, five years before Sarah passed away in 1936.

Notes

The file list provides the name Gordon for the child. However, Betty's family record book indicates that Rose's son's name was Jordon Sigmund Harry Snider. Therefore Jordon is used as the name for the child.
