Store Owner Killed As Bandit Gets $12
Passaic (AP) Isadore Glynn, delicatessen proprietor, died early to-day at St. Mary's Hospital of two bullet wounds in the abdomen suffered when a quick-triggered bandit invaded his store.
Before his death Glynn told police he attempted to grapple with the bandit and was shot at close range. The man fled with $12 taken from the cash register.
Dr. Ernest Reeve, surgeon, out for his nightly stroll along Cen-tral Avenue, heard the shots and saw the bandit flee. He gave chase but the man disappeared. (Courier-News (Bridgewater, New Jersey), Saturday, October 12, 1935, page 4)
Place of Birth

Annie was born in Kamenitz, Grodno, Russian Empire, nowadays known as Kamyanyets, Belarus
Kamyenyets or Kamyanyets (Belarusian: Камянец), is a town in Brest Region, Belarus. It serves as the administrative center of Kamyenyets District.The town is located in the northwestern corner of Brest Region on the Lyasnaya River, about 40 kilometres north from Brest. The Leśna Prawa river flows through the town. In 2002, its population was approximately 9,000. The Jewish Population was 2,722 in 1897.
Jews likely settled in Kamyanyets in the 16th or early 17th century, during a time when many towns in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth welcomed Jewish settlers. By the 18th and 19th centuries, Kamyanyets had an organized Jewish community with a synagogue, schools, and various religious and social institutions. Jews played a significant role in the town's economy, often working as merchants, artisans, and traders. The Jewish population grew and established a vibrant community, including Hasidic influences. After World War I, the area became part of the Second Polish Republic. Despite growing antisemitism, the Jewish community in Kamyanyets remained active, with political and cultural organizations such as Zionist groups and Hebrew schools. Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941, and Kamyanyets was occupied shortly after. In 1942, most of the Jewish population of Kamyanyets was murdered during the Holocaust, either in local massacres or deportations to extermination camps.
