Morris Abraham, husband of Sarah Jacoby Abraham, arrived via a couple of years in England in 1875. The ship manifest reads "Maurice Abrahams", possibly his original name, maybe just a harried information gatherer.
His wife, along with a young daughter and infant son, arrived later in the year. Eventually, the brood included 10 children: Dena, David, Peyser, Samuel, Eva, Ida, Rosa, Aaron, Daisy, and Annie.
The original family name was Abrahams (plural). Sometime after 1880, Morris and Sarah began using the shorter "Abrams", while their eldest three children kept the Abraham name. Even though their death certificates read Abrams, they were buried under the name Abraham.
Sarah is buried in the adjoining Gomley Chesed Cemetery.
