No Worse There Is None

The death of 59-year-old Matilda West "was a staggering blow," admitted Mae, who was inconsolable. Born in December 1870 in Bavaria, Matilda died in an apartment at 95 Euclid Avenue, Brooklyn, perhaps being nursed there by relatives. [Matilda and Jack owned a house on 88th Street in Woodhaven, Queens at the time.]
