The pictures included in this post were passed down from Kay Marrom. Unfortunately no stories that connect them to Joseph were included. It is thought perhaps this was the family he lived with while he was in New York.
In reviewing the maps further, it would appear this area had a high ethnic population. There are two synagogues in the close proximity, the Bialystoker Synagoge and the Eldridge Street Synagogue. Among the list of congregants shown on the Museum at Eldridge Street website, there are three Hymans shown in the 1880s; G. Hyman, H. Hyman and M.L. Hyman in the 1880s and 1920s.
All of the pictures were taken at studios in the New York area. These include:
- Wedding picture from A.Smith Studio on 43 Canal Street, New York
- Couple picture was made by D. Goodman "The American" Photographer located at 159 Rivington Street, New York
- Couple picture in overcoats was taken by a studio that appears to located on Broadway (studio information is quite faded)
- Hyman family portrait was made by Adelsohn's Studio located at 55 Belmont Avenue (Brooklyn, I think)
From Google searches, it would seem that A. Smith's studio and D. Goodman's studio are less than one mile apart. Not knowing the exact street address of the studio on Broadway, I am not certain of the location. If it were on East Broadway, it would be in the same vicinity of these other two studios.
