HistoricalInscription is in Yiddish.

An Adolf Steinberg ran a coffee house at 43 Cochrane Street in Central. On September 30, 1887, the newspaper reported that he was charged with selling liquor without a license. He may have been Pearl’s husband.

Why was the stone erected by her daughter? Did her husband pre-decease her and, if so, where is he buried?
