In the latter part of her life, my great aunt Sophie lived in Whitney Pier in an apartment above her brother Ephraim’s store. One of her hobbies was oil painting. I used to visit her and watch her painting. I have inherited a few of those paintings, and love the folk art style. From what I have been told by my mother, Aunt Sophie never married. She lived part of her life in New York City, returning to the Pier to open a small clothing store. She loved fashion. She was thought to have suffered from schizophrenia.
