He married Rachel Deborah Schlesinger, daughter of Moses and Rebecca, sometime before 1844 in Germany. She was born in 1829 in Prussia (Schlesinger is a German surname meaning "from Silesia”). She died on 10 June 1886 in Manhattan.

    Before immigrating to the U.S. in 1856, Louis and Rachel lived in England. Louis was a tassel maker.

    Afer Rachel’s death, he married (2) Sophie Cohen from Philadelphia on 27 June 1888 at Adereth El in Manhattan. She was born about 1839 in Prussia, the daughter of Daniel Cohen and Sophie Reintje (?). Louis and Sophia traveled together to England before his death.

    Louis died on 21 January 1895 at his residence, 1719 Lexington Avenue in Manhattan. Funeral services were held at Temple Israel in New York City.

    1. “Samuel” is given as his mother's maiden name on his wedding certificate (to Sophia, note 4). The first name here appears to be "Alie," but is diffcult to read. “Lottie” is given as his mother's first name on his death certificate (note 5).

    As a young man, Moses worked with his father. Later, he went into the liquor business, and then became a real estate broker and insurance agent. However, he is best remembered for his work as one of the founders, and first President, of the People’s Hospital in New York (which was on Second Avenue, near 13th Street). This hospital opened to the public in 1910. At its inauguration, Samuel Greenbaum delivered an address, and Rev. Dr. Joseph Silverman of Temple Emanu-El offered a dedicatory prayer.

    A notice published in The New York Times after his death by the President of the hospital stated:

    Whereas Mr. Moses Greenbaum President of the People’s Hospital from 1908 to 1917, and who had served with great distinction, loyalty, and faithfully, and had given his time, talent and money to help the poor, the sick and the needy of the great East side, and Whereas Mr. Moses Greenbaum had been identified with many other causes for the benefit of humanity and his fellow-men, be it, therefore

    Resolved, that we express to the members of his family our profound sympathy in this their hour of bereavement and to further express the great loss that our hospital has sustained in his death.

    1. His birth place is attested variously as England, Germany, Poland, or Russia. His was likely born in Kalisz or possibly Silesia, before the family moved to England.

    Moses and Rebecca had six known children:

    1. Joshua3 (or Joseph) Greenbaum, was born 5 March 1877. It seems that he died prior to 1900.

      1. The name Joseph is found in the census, whereas Joshua is on the birth record. The age is about the same.

Her engagement was announced in The New York Times on 6 November 1921, and the wedding took place on 1 June 1922 at the home of Samuel Greenbaum, who officiated.

      Alfred worked for the IRS. He died sometime after completing his WWII draft registration in 1942.

      Lulu and Alfred did not have any known (surviving) children.

    There is much to say about Samuel. Not only was he a highly-regarded Justice of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, First Judicial Department for the State of New York, but he also made many signficant contributions to New York public life. A book entitled Jewish Renaissance and Revival in America (ed. Fishbane and Sarna, 2011) has this to say (p. 37):

    While recent scholarship has begun to illuminate the influential role of Philadelphia Jewry in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the so-called "Philadelphia Group"—it seems that the New York segment of their peer group—including such young leaders as Daniel P. Hays, Max Cohen, Samuel Greenbaum, Philip Cowen, and Cyrus L. Sulzberger —have yet to be fully recognized for their contributions to Jewish cultural vitality during this period.

    Samuel was one of the founders of what became the American Hebrew newspaper (Philip Cowen’s account of their childhood in his Memories of an American Jew provides the context). He was president of the Young Men’s Hebrew Association and the Alumni Association of the College of the City of New York; a founder of the Aguilar Public Library; a trustee of Jewish Theological Seminary, the New York Public Library, and the Jewish Teacher’s Fund; and a member of the Society for Medical Jurisprudence, the Civil Service Reform Association, the Free Trade League, the Baron de Hirsch Fund; and a leader of the Judaeans, a social club with many prominent Jews among its members, &c.

    He was often in the newspapers and highly praised for his judicial temper. In one article, it was even said that he “should be named Solomon” (). His papers are preserved at Columbia University and the American Jewish Archives.

    Selina was a notable person in her own right. In 1890, she helped form the Jewish Working Girls’ Vacation Society, and became its first president. Incorporated in 1892, the society maintained a number of homes that allowed Jewish working women a retreat from the city. By 1917, the society was helping over 800 women every year.
