Arriving at Galveston at the age of 12, she lived with a sister, Bessie Rosenberg, in West Columbia. She moved to Houston two years later when her parents arrived from Russia.

The two of them made this institution a full-time effort in enlisting aid, funds and supplies for the young institution which they were instrumental in founding.

.
From Shepherd, Texas to Houston was a long step, but the Sam Fingers succeeded in their first mercantile store in the small community and later built a large business institution here.
