Golden, George Samuel ²

   Another name for George was GOLDEN, George Samuel.

  General Notes:

1) George's mother, Lena, is said to have died when George was about 8 months old, but she appears in the 1920 census. He is said to have been virtually raised by his sister Rachel.

2) As a child, and later in life through the families of his siblings, he was known as Sam, or Sammy. While married to Beatrice, when his son Marvin was a toddler, he worked two jobs, including one as a taxi driver. According to his niece Lenore , Beatrice met someone (probably Mendel "Manny" Feder) and began having an affair while George was out working. Also according to Lenore, George came home from work and found the house empty, Beatrice having left with Marvin. George managed to se e Marvin once more, tracing them to the apartment of Beatrice's family, where she lived briefly with Marvin. [See entry on Marvin Murray Golden Feder for more information.] George is said to have adored his son, and was broken-hearted when he coul d no longer see him.

3)) Marvin (nee Golden) Feder, in November 2003, stated that he "knew" his mother had started dating Manny while still married to his father, although it is more likely that as he grew older he simply put together an understanding of certain impli cations of some of his memories of the time. He had no recollection of life with his father, only of the last time they met. [See his entry.]

4) George stayed in New York for a while, where he met and married Jean Pelinsky. Since George was unable to see his son, the courts having awarded full and sole custody to Beatrice, they decided to move to California to start over.

5)) According to a May 3, 2004 phone conversation between Suzanne Feder and Morris Tashner, brother of Beatrice Tachner, the Tachna family lived in an unheated apartment, moved for a while to a nicer apartment (with steam heat), and then moved bac k to the same unheated apartment. It was while they lived in the nicer apartment that the Goldens, including George, lived with the Tachnas. Morris did not recall his own age at the time they lived together, but was old enough to have formed an ad mittedly biased (his term) opinion of George. He said that George struck him as a cold person who did not treat his wife particularly well. He said that George was a stock market speculator, and lost everything in the crash. He said the financia l situation may have contributed to the breakup of the marriage. After that, George drove a taxi for a living, and once found an old typewriter in the back seat which he subsequently sold to Morris for $25. [See entry on Morris for more about thi s story.] [See entry on Beatrice for more details.]
