Rose Chica Einesman Bernstein was born in Bodzentyn Poland on Dec. 20, 1903. Joseph Mayer Bornstein was born in Wzdol Poland, November 22, 1895. Max came to Canada in 1919, eventually settling in Edmonton. He and Rose were married in Edmonton on November 13, 1921. They opened a dry goods store on Jasper Avenue and 97th St. Their daughter Shirley Leah was born in 1928. They eventually moved to the South side, where they ran a business called Service Department Store. Rose was a founding member of Edmonton Pioneer Women and a member of the Magen David Club for 50 years, which raised funds for Talmud Torah. They were both members of the Chevra Kadisha (Jewish Burial Society), and the Beth Israel Synagogue. They also had two sons, Phillip and Martin. Max passed away in 1983, and Rose died in 1990.
