Simon, Ida, & Hannah Kleindorf
In 1898, Samuel Kleindorf, a merchant tailor on Common street in New Orleans, admitted three of his children to the Home following the death of his wife, the former Dora Manasses. Samuel, a native of Russia, had arrived in New Orleans in 1884.
The children — Simon (admitted at age 4), Ida (8), and Hannah (6) — lived in the Home until 1902, when they returned to their father and siblings.
