Their children who have all passed away now were Charles, Moses (Morris-Maurice) Abraham-died in infancy, Elsie and Anne.
The oral history from my grandmother was that Nathan had been married before but that the marriage produced no children.
My grandfather, Nathan Goldfoot, died in 1912 in Portland in a horse and wagon accident. Nathan was thrown out of the wagon which had no writing on it. He was an expressman taking packages from the dock and delivering them in Portland. The accident happened in the SE Portland area. He hit his head and never regained consiousness and died in St. Vincent Hospital. Today, his great grandson is a nurse in the new St. Vincent Hospital in the CCU.
Because he died in 1912 and my father was born in 1908, we never learned about Nathan's family.
