Lieba "Libby" Gurwitch Doniger was the wife of Wolf Doniger, and mother of Mary (who married Keever Fox), Celia (who married Charles Friedman), Louis (who married Rose Goldberg and then Eleanor Shay), and Harry (who married Roselyn Lewis). She died on 14 December 1893 at 17 Allen Street in Manhattan. Her death is described in The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, 14 December 1893, page 10, but the article does not include the facts that the contributing causes of her death were a threatened miscarriage and a tuberculosis-like condition.

Inscription

The grave stone is damaged, but the visible part reads: "In memory of our beloved mother Libby Daniger, Died Dec. 14, 1893, Aged 32 Years, Rest in Peace". The only Hebrew that can be read gives her date of death, 05 Tevet 5654, and the standard prayer, "May her soul be bound up in the bonds of eternal life."

Gravesite Details

The stone is damaged and almost unreadable, per the photographs.
