Evidence-backed claims
Samuel W. Silverstein was born 15 July 1887 in Shedletz in the Russian Empire and died 22 March 1950.
Both naturalization petitions independently repeat the same birth date and birthplace; the legible headstone gives the death date and age 63.
Confirmed
Samuel W. Silverstein and Sara Silverstein were married and were parents of Rubin Milton Silverstein.
Samuel's 1926 and 1933 naturalization petitions both identify Sara as his wife and Rubin as their son. The forms conflict on Rubin's birth year but not on the parent-child relationship.
