Married days after Louis Pincus died in January 1933. The wedding had to go on as planned but it was very simple with no music. It was held in the home of Ben & Bessie Pincus in Valparaiso, IN. Bessie catered it. Etta Tarson did not attend as Elliott was only about 2. Charlotte Tarson (age 12) attended with her father instead and Florence was very upset that she attended as it was supposed to be no children.

Moved to Valpraiso, IN, at age 7 because of Harold's headaches - worried about similar symptoms to Maurice before he died (brain fever).

Went to dance as young woman - danced the night with Al Sokolec. At end of evening, Al asked Florence for a date - she agreed. On the night of the date, Ben Sokolec came to the door and introduced self as Florence's date. That was how Florence and Ben met. Source: Barbara Sokolec.

Note NI6035 Index

Elias was born Eliya Tatarsky, probably named for his mother's father Elya. He served in the Russian military around 1880. Elias's wife was from Nezhin, a nearby village to Ichnya. They lived with his parents, and then by 1888 in a nearby house.

Elias seems to be the first member of the Tatarsky family to immigrate to Chicago from Russia. He came to the US in Sept. 1, 1890 from Hamburg, Germany and his brother Zalman and family were also aboard the ship. Elias statyed in America but his brother Zalman seems to have returned. In about 1897, he came to Chicago with his wife Anna (Horne) and three of his children: John, Nathan and Florence. Janet (Jenny) was born in Illinois in 1899 after they settled in Chicago. He became a naturalized citizen on Dec. 19, 1913 and changed his last name to Tarrson at the same time.

Elias had various occupations, making cigars, working as a salesman, owning a delicatessen and finally as partner with his son John of the Tarr Cigar Co., a cigar/tobacco factory. Elias died in 1929 in Chicago.

Elliott Tarson is named after his great-uncle Elias.

Zalman and his family immigrated to America on the same ship as his older brother Elias in 1890. I have found him on no census or any other record in America. My guess is that he and his family returned to Russia. Zalman's sons Chaim (Henry) and Alex later immigrated to America in 1906.
