*Correction provided 2/4/2009 by Diane Steinberg-Lewis: "Morris Leo Steinberg was my uncle, my father, Luther's brother. There is a misspell of his mother's last maiden name. Her maiden name was Ida Fox with 1 'x'. There is no middle name. Actually she was Ida Fox Clouston from a previous marriage to Arthur Clouston. Don't know if it's customary to have all those names or just maiden name and last married name! Just wanted you to know!"
