Two other Maine couples had planned to join the group but found the club too crowded and went elsewhere before the blaze. Was identified by a brother-in-law, Irving J.

Died on 9/19/1945, pulmonary tuberculosis, age 27), not present (was away developing film when the fire broke), after a posed print of an unconnected older foursome was published on the front page of the 12/03/1942 Boston Globe (detail shown here). Was raised in Lewiston, ME, and in Dorchester (Boston), MA. Married in 1924. First name was spelled "Sadye" in era street listings, "Sadie" elsewhere.

With her husband was one of 25 married couples present where one partner died and the other survived. Husband was one of two fire survivors named "Bernard Levin" (also Lieut. Bernard N.
