I need info about Israel.

Shearith Israel Cemetery, Brooklyn,NY. Need contact info.

• Emanuel Lasker was chess champion of the world from 1894-1921. He was born in Germany Dec.24,1868 & died in NYC on Jan.13,1941. I'm concerned about his wife,Martha (Bamberger)(Kohn)Lasker. She was born Nov.19,1867 in Berlin. I have no idea when she died or where. The Social Security Death Index lists her as dying Aug. 15,1972. Although I've known that, I've not been able to find any linkage. I highly suspect that that is she. In order to obtain my linkage, I've found that her husband is buried at the Shearith Israel Cemetery, 2 Cypress Hills, Glendale, Brooklyn,NY. Strangely, I've not been abel to obtain contact info. No email address or telephone number. Bear in mind, there are many Shearith Israel Cemeteries in NYC. I need that contact information. To the good and amazing google researchers, I have been able to find some of the former subjects that I was seeking. Independent of the clues supplied me by the researchers, I've been able to find the info for sports writers: Joseph S. Smith, Ray Ziegler, Willima Murphy, Herman Wecke; Shangri-La Ganser, tap dancer Pete Nugent, Eddie Collins mother Mary Collins; I've closed many questions. I'd so love to get answers to those still open, still about 40. Such as Frances Cass, Rennie Harris, June Taylor, and Joeseph Durso. Great to talk to all of you again! Bluestreak
