Misc. Notes
She was listed as Anna Kartorzynska (17, POL) with her mother and siblings when they immigrated in 1921. Anna was deaf and partially mute, so she used Sign language. But this was not hereditary - it was probably from a childhood illness.
Married Soloman Iseralowitz (also deaf) as Anna Carter in 1928 and listed in 1930 (24, POL) with him and son Abraham (0, Brooklyn), living with her mother. She was a deaf mute, used sign language and had a light bulb hooked up to the doorbell to know when visitors had arrived. The light would turn on and off. She sewed and knitted.
Then living in New York City in 1940 where she is listed as age 35, born in New York.
She moved to Texas in later years and died there in 1990. But Warren Carter arranged to have her returned to New York for burial in Wellwood cemetery.
