• Notes

  Note: Addresses from 1920 and 1930 censuses corroborate exactly with the information in our family history (written by Mel Chaplin, based on oral history rather than document research). Obituary: Philadelphia Jewish Exponent, 6 Sep 1957 “Joseph Lieberman, 83, of 5301 Old York Road, died August 20 at the Albert Einstein medical Center, ND. He is survived by three sons and two daughters and three brothers and a sister, Abe, David, Max and Mrs. Freada Eisenberg.  His children are A.R., Harold B., Louis, Mrs. Laura Chaplin and Mrs. Ray Nagourney. He was the husband of the late Rose.” transcribed from the Philadelphia Jewish Exponent, by Sarah Sherman, Associate Archivist, Temple University and emailed to Beth Chaplin on 30 October 2009 contradicts date of death previously in family history, 22-Aug-1958, but I am using the date cited in the obituary unless other evidence emerges to the contrary. ----------- My father, Mel Chaplin, found a listing in the 1950 Philadelphia city directory for Joseph Lieberman and confirmed the address at 741 S. Frazier St. with the following memory, sent in an email to me 2 Dec 2009: “I do remember Frazier street, becuse as a pre-schooler I stayed with my grandparents when my mother worked. It was only one small block long and the house was about in the middle of the street. They had a tiny back yard that abuted the school yard . There was a high chain link fence. Sometime after they moved away the entire block was torn down for an expansion of the school. I think there was a big shallow swimming pool in the school yard, it was only filled in the summer. We were not allowed to go there because of the danger of Polio during the summertime. There was a porch replete with chairs in the summer and the plants were put out in the summer. They were "snake plants (in Brazil-St Georges Sword)" in white wicker planters. Inside the living room was in the front. There was an oriental rug on the floor. The front window (facing the porch) was made with beveled leaded glass and on a sunny day the prismatic effect of the galss made "rainbows" on the floor. Of course that is where I was playing, on the floor. Facing to the back of the house the stairway in the living room was on the left (north)side. Typical of Philly row house design there were a few steps going-up to a landing then the steps rose up again on the right of the ascender. The dining room was entered through an archway On the right side (south) was a little place for the telephone. It sat on a small triangular table with a triangular chair that nested beneath. That is the chair I had until we sold our stuff before moving to Maryland. The opposite side of the arch leading into the dining room were the basement stairs. At the rear of the D.Room on the right side was the entrance into the kitchen. It ran across the width of the house. The back porch was all enclosed and the entry was fron the kitchen on the North side. That is where the ICE BOX was kept. Not much ice was needed in the winter, but during the summer the Ice man stopped by regularly. A burly guy with huge arms.   In the basementa huge furnace produced the steam that feed the hissing radiators upstairs. There was a glass tube that indicated the water level and Grandpa Lieberman would check it often. It seems to me now that the valves above and below the glass tube had something to do with it. I rember the empty coal bins in the front so the furnace must have used oil. Underneath the stairs was grandpa's work bench and his tools were in big heavy wooden boxes.   At the top of the stairs on the second floor a long hallway, with pictures I cannot remember well led past the bathroom (white tiles) to two bedrooms. The other bedroom was in the front and had a bay window.   That is all I can recall about Frazier Street. We walked there from 6234 Walton Ave where I lived till about 1948. It was even closer to our next house at 5934 Cobbs Creek Parkway.” --- Ship manifest for Josel Libman (M, 28yrs old, tailor, married), Avram Libman (M, 15yrs, single), Freide Libman (F, 10yrs, single).
