Fane and Rubin
Fane was 23 years old, a housemaker able to read and write. She was of russian nationality (although her latest place of residence had been London*) and had never before been in the United States. She had $ 3 and her final destination was Chicago, where she was to join her husband Mendel Cohen of 10 Wilson St. There is also a note hard to decipher - to me it it looks like "With Uncle J??"
And Rubin was 2 years and 6 months old.
* Marshall has heard a lot about those couple of years in London, where she was introduced to eating kippers :-)

More than kippers- nice enough- was finnan haddie, a favorite all through childhood and in New York (still available in the scottish area in Queens)- Pia has prepared it a few times here in Sweden, not at all that available. Also the custom of drinking tea with milk in a cup not exactly Russian!
