According to their grand-daughter, Grace Gilbert Munoz: "Isidore and Rose owned a liquor store. But it was in Rose's name, as was the liquor license. This is because Isidore had a “minor” criminal conviction for bootlegging. They would make whiskey in the bathtub, put it in bottles in the stroller, and put baby Jack in the stroller, then deliver the bottles. Of course the joke is that Uncle Jack was raised on liquor!" | Family: F11538

Declaration of Intent for citizenship was filed on September 28, 1897. His address in NYC was listed at 5 Jackson Street. In that declaration he said that he had arrived in US in September 1893.
Petition for Citizenship was filed on October 3, 1902. In that document he said that he was born in Russia in October 1866. A witness, David Shaughnessy, testified that Harris Anderer [sic] had lived in the US (at least) since 1895, currently lived at 5 Jackson Street, and was a "cutter" by occupation. In the same document, the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of New York ordered that he be admitted to be a Citizen of the USA.

Listed his birthdate as October 1866 on naturalization papers in 1902. Yet, on marriage certificate in 1904, his age is listed (erroneously?) as 31 (instead of 38), consistent with a birthdate in 1873. And in the January 1920 census his age is listed as 48 (again consistent with 1873 birthdate). His age on tombstone is listed as 65 in December 1932. However, on his death certificate, his age was listed erroneously as 59, with a birthdate of December 15, 1873.

According to his granddaughter, Phillis Bilsky Wolk: "My grandfather Charles was born in Clarksville, Tennessee and did lots of odd jobs as a teenager. When he got married to Bessie Dattel, they moved to Sunflower, Mississippi, to open a dry goods store. They then moved to Paris, Tennessee to open another dry goods store. (Issy and Toby were born there.) Then they moved back to Clarksville and opened a department store. (Ruben and Celia born there.) Then they moved to Forest City, Arkansas, and opened dry goods and a scrap yard. Uncle Issy ran the Scrap, and Dad [Ruben] and Uncle Toby ran the dry good then grocery store. The boys went into the army and, after the war, moved to Memphis, Tennessee. "Papa" retired and moved to Memphis so Aunt Celia could meet Jewish boys. Papa then had some properties. (I used to go with him as a child to collect rents.) The true wandering Jews! | Charles Herman BILSKY

When Jack was very sick as a child with a deadly blood disease, his mother, Rose Miller, symbolically “sold” him to Fredricka Perlman, because the Perlmans were a robust and healthy family, to avoid the "evil eye" and to fool the Angel of Death (as was done in the Old Country).
