Was attending a U.S. Army send-off for Joseph Seidman, age 30, with Edward Fogel, age 34, both of Cambridge, and Miss Myrna "Minnie" Rubin, age 24, of Chelsea, all dead. Reported in the 11/30/1942 Chelsea Evening Record all four died by suffocation. A charge plate of Miss Rubin's married older sister, Mrs. Polly Ruboy, age 32 (confirmed not present), was located seven months later in June 1943 by a state detective searching the club ruins. Was single. First name was misspelled "Adeline" (with an "e" on the second syllable) in the 1940 federal census and in era street listings, also in some news accounts. Name was misreported as "Adelaide" on her death certificate and on the November 1943 Boston Committee on Public Safety master list of victims. Given name shown here as spelled on her birth certificate and on her gravestone.

Was one of 228 victims showing "carbon monoxide poisoning" as the primary cause of death on their death certificates, the same count (exact) as those recorded dead from "burns" (another eight displayed both causes, while 26 others gave alternate origins or stated simply "trapped in burning building"). Parents Mr. and Mrs. Barnet and Anna (Sanderson) Goodman, same address. Burial at Fuller Street (Liberty Progressive) Cemetery, Everett, MA. One of 18 fire victims interred at Fuller Street collective Jewish cemeteries, the fourth-greatest resting grounds for all Grove casualties, and most at any single site outside Boston proper.
