Dr. and Mrs. Lurie: 1953

Dr. Benjamin Lurie (1894-1954) and his wife Bertha (1898-1984) were born in Russia and escaped to America to start a better life. He became a dentist and practiced in Chicago in the Humboldt Park neighborhood. Later the family moved to Albany Park and lived at 4837 N. Albany Ave with their two daughters Mildred (b. 1924) and Louise (1933-2014).
This photograph of Dr. Lurie and his wife with their first grandson Steven (b. 1952) was taken about 1953. Tragically, Dr. Lurie died on June 20, 1954.
These fine people were my maternal grandparents. View full size.
