Ben and Sadie’s Wedding
Wednesday, February 1st, 2006
This picture was taken in New York. L-R: Ben Diliatsky, Gladys Dick, Rose Dick, Sadie (Dick) Diliatsky.
All of these people were alive when I was 16 and I met them. They’re all gone now.
The women in this picture are three of my grandfather’s four sisters (my mother’s aunts) and all three are to the left of the tombstone in this image.
My grandfather brought most of his family to the US from Autro-Hungary between 1890 and 1900.
I don’t know when Ben Diliatsky came to the US from Europe but I do know that he fought in The Spanish American War which means he was here before my family, probably the mid-1800’s. I also know that he was a Trotskyite.
