    Notes 
    • Sadie Karpa was a single mother to her son Maurice Tobias. She was married to Irving Tobias (not absolutely sure of his first name) but he left his wife and son when Maurice was two years old. He was never heard from again for the rest of Sadie and Maurice's life. Sadie owned and ran a liquor store on Pennsylvania Ave in Baltimore, Maryland. I remember her letting me work behind the counter and push the cash register buttons at six years old (she probably would be arrested for letting a minor sell alcohol now!).She owned a home on Garrison Blvd in Baltimore and lived there, along with her mother Miriam and her brother Max until her passing in 1964. She never remarried. She had the help of her brother and sister's in helping raise her son. She owned a second home in Miami Beach Florida.

      I was very young when she died so unfortunately I do not know very much about her other than she raised a wonderful son who was always about family. I wish that I had gotten to know her better.
