David Halpern became a member of the Mirer Young Mens Benevolent And Educational Society in 1907 and was still a member in 1940. This information is recorded in the Mirer Society's 35th Anniversary Journal. He was on the membership list when they celebrated the 50th anniversary.
David sponsored several people for membership in the organization including Dave Silkowitz in 1911 and Ben Silkowitz in 1913. They might have been related on his mother's side of the family. In 1914 he sponsored Issy Markman. Much later, in 1934, he sponsored David Schoen, who was the husband of his sister Etta. His sister Rose's husband, Henry Ebenstein, also became a member of the Mirer Young Mens Benevolent And Educational Society. |
