It is believed that Abraham and his family came to the United States from Ropczyce, Austria-Hungary, now a town in Poland.

In 1889-90 Abraham was listed as a shoemaker living at 84 Ridge Street in Manhattan, New York. According to the 1900 census Abe came to the United States in 1885.

In 1900 he was living at 51 Attorney Street in Manhattan. At some time he and his family lived at 6 Willet Street in Manhattan, near the Williamsburgh Bridge, an area where he also maintained his cobbler's shop.

At the time of his death he was living at the Home of Sons and Daughters of Israel in Manhattan, New York, where he resided since December 14, 1932. This was located at 232 East 10th Street in Manhattan.

Great-Granddaughter Anne Nussbaum recalls that Abraham liked to move furniture around. Grandson Sam Waldman recalls that he used to sit on Abraham's lap and he would run his fingers up and down his side saying, "Meezellah Keezelah" (the mouse is tickeling you).
