Partial composite of 1934 Lehner letter referring to family members only

This composite of the 1934 letter from Dorchester, Massachusetts (postmark date not completely seen) was written by Aunt Tillie -- Mathilda Ellis Lihner, the wife of Solomon Lihner and adressed to Shelly L. Weiss (aka: Minnie Weiss) of Brooklyn, NY.  Solomon was a son of Max Lehner and apparently changed the spelling of his surname from Lehner with an e to Lihner with an i.  He was also the brother of Mary Lehner (aka: Mary Leonard).  Mary was the wife of Harry B. Weiss and mother of Minnie Weiss (Shelly Stecker married name).  Mary died September 26, 1915 in Worcester, Massachusetts.  In the list of "all the family your mother has" Aunt Tillie's husband Solomon Lihner and Mary's sister Eva Lehner Rosenblum were not listed.  Eva had two sons -- Herman and Abraham Rosenblum.  She died on December 31, 1915 the same year as Mary Lehner Weiss.

Portion of the 1934 Lehner letter from Mathilda Ellis Lihner to Minnie (Shelly) Weiss listing the siblings of Mary Lehner Weiss (i.e. children of Max Lehner), minus Eva (died in 1915), Mary  (died in 1915) and Solomon (his wife "Aunt Tillie" -- Mathilda Ellis Lihner wrote the letter). It is only the part of the letter that lists the living relatives of Mary Lehner Weiss as of 1934.  Note that brothers Solomon and John (was Isaac on 1900 US Census) changed the spelling of their last name from Lehner to Lihner and Mary Lehner used the surname Leonard.
