Louis GOLDBERG (John K. Goldberg's paternal grandfather) was a building contractor in Chicago who built an entire block of two story homes with stone fronts because of the Chicago fire. He resided on this block and built a study house in the backyard. He was very religious and his grandfather was a rabbi.

Katie GINSBERG's tombstone reads, ""The modest Mrs. Kaila Chaya daughter of Zusman Ginsberg passed away 23rd of Nissan 5684". Another source lists her father's name as Zusa MANDELSTEIN, not GINSBERG.
