A native of Milwaukee, Isaacs was the daughter of Adolph Walter and Rosa Sidenberg Rich, and was the third daughter in a family of six children; she had four sisters and one brother. Her father was born in Hungary and came to the United States under the auspices of Carl Schurz, while her mother was from a family with roots in Breslau.[1] She studied at Downer College before taking a position with the Milwaukee Sentinel, for whose literary section she wrote until 1904. She then moved to New York City to freelance, and in 1913 became drama critic for Ainslee’s Magazine. In 1918 she joined the staff of Theatre Arts; from 1922 until 1946 she served as its editor, significantly raising its profile and turning it into a monthly publication, instead of a quarterly one. Active in the promotion of American theatre, from 1935 until 1939 she was involved with the Federal Theatre Project; she worked with other organizations as well during her career.

In 1904, Isaacs married lawyer and composer Lewis Montefiore Isaacs, with whom she had collaborated on an operetta for children. The couple were the parents of three, and lived happily until his death in 1944. Eventually bedridden due to arthritis, Edith Isaacs was forced to move into a nursing home in White Plains in 1951. Visitors in her later years included Martha Graham, who helped her to develop movements and other techniques to alleviate her suffering. She died in White Plains after a stroke. In 1958 a Theatre Arts Project for East Harlem was established in her memory.[Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_Isaacs%5D

Buried Row A4, Plot 19 in Old Hebrew Area, Waikumete Cemetery as advised by Mary Watson 28 March 1899.Marriage: Michael Morris LEWIS 1897 Folio 3695 married Daisy BOYD. Probate: Michael Morris LEWIS died 12 Aug 1947 BBAE 1570 0978/47 Auckland.

More about MICHAEL MORRIS LEWIS: Michael commenced his commercial career working for a firm of jewellers, then with Kempthorne Prosser & Co., wholesale druggists. It was with the mercantile house of P. Hayman & Co., however, that he became so well identified. Their head office was in a handsome Edwardian commercial building on the north side of Customs St.,East, not far from Queen St., Auckland. (Still standing in 1999, identifiable by a plaque over the main entrance with intertwined letters “P.H.” Sadly, the building will probably become a casualty of the Britomart development scheme.) He was variously Senior Traveller, Auckland Warehouse Manager, Wellington Manager and finally General Manager. He was well regarded in the commercial world of his day.

In 1897 Michael married Daisy Boyd, born 1878, died 04 April 1948. I still (1999) have her engagement ring containing three rubies, said to be the best ring in Hayman & Co’s stock at the time. She was regarded askance by the Lewis family because, although good looking, she was a Gentile and her antecedents were comparatively modest. Her non-Jewish status no doubt offended her mother-in-law Rebecca, daughter of a Rabbi. Her father was said to be the regimental tailor of an imperial regiment stationed in New Zealand during the Maori Wars. Her Mother was said to be French, her maiden name was Ceraneau or Cheraneau and she lived to be 100 or so.

Notes for ANNIE LEWIS: Annie was born in Auckland and married Frederick Myer Solomons (a tobacconist born in England about 1868) in Auckland 02 December 1896. They had three children, Doreen Thelma and, according to a family Bible note (copy held by GFF), a girl Olive Meryl, born 31 December 1905, died 30 January 1906 and a boy, Ernest Louis, born 15 November 1907, died 24 December1908. Ernest, according to Lorraine Elliott, Annie’s great granddaughter, fell down stairs and broke his neck. The family moved to Sydney, Australia, in 1906 or 1907 after Frederick was declared bankrupt and to seek treatment for his tuberculosis. (There was little that could be done for the condition at that time other than extended hospitalisation and rest. It would be the 1940’s before drugs such as penicillin would be available.) He ran a tobacconist shop in Pitt Street, Sydney and the family lived in the Mosman area. Frederick died 07 September 1923 and Annie committed suicide 6 weeks later, no doubt shattered by her husband’s death, their frugal life and the earlier loss of two young children.

In April 1915, during World War I, New Zealand established the New Zealand Stationary Hospital which was stationed in Port Said, Egypt. Isaacs served as quartermaster as well as dentist. In September 1915, he was promoted to captain. In October 1915, the hospital was dispatched on the ship Marquette to Salonika in northern Greece to enter the war on the Allies’ side. However, 60 miles short of the goal, the ship was torpedoed. Isaacs, who saw the torpedo heading toward the ship, survived, although nearly 170 people were drowned. Eventually replacement people and equipment were brought forward, and the hospital was established in Salonika. Later it was sent to Amiens in France.
After the war, he returned to New Zealand in 1919 and remained an officer on the Reserve List until compulsory retirement in 1948. After the war, he lived at Rona Bay, Eastbourne. He married out of the faith, and died in 1977 at the age of 94.

His initial training in dentistry was in Wellington, before New Zealand had a Dental School. He was admitted to the Dentists’ Register in 1904, after three years’ apprenticeship. He then studied in London and Toronto, and was awarded DDS by the University of Toronto in 1906. When he returned to New Zealand that year, he set up practice as a dental surgeon in Wellington. In August 1914, he joined the Advance Party of the N.Z. Expeditionary Force, as a dentist in the Medical Corps, that went to Samoa to take over the German Radio Station there. He was awarded the MBE in 1919 for his military service. He remained an officer on the Reserve List until 1948 (not in the territorial force). He resumed his dental practice in Wellington after the war. In 1922, he married Marjorie Rose Saunders. She was born on 13 August 1891 and died in 19 February 1966. They lived in Eastbourne from 1924. He retired in 1957.

Children of DAVID ISAACS and MAJORIE SAUNDERS are:
i. RICHARD EDWARD⁵ ISAACS, b. 23 April 1923; d. 14 October 1943, Accidentally killed on active service with Royal New Zealand Air Force.

Notes for Richard Edward ISAACS: Serial Number: NZ423975; RNZAF Trade: Equipment Assistant (Petrol); Date of Enlistment: 1942; Rank Achieved: Leading Aircraftsman; Personal Details: Son of Dr. David Nathan Isaacs, and of Marjorie Rose Isaacs (nee Saunders), of Eastbourne, Lower Hutt. He attended Wellington College up to Matriculation standard, and he enjoyed playing football, tennis, swimming and athletics.
Richard attempted to join the RNZAF, applying on the 1st of August 1940, whilst he was still at college. However he was rejected on the grounds that he was unfit for aircrew. He then took a job with Caltex Ltd. He also became a member of the 3rd Battalion North Wellington Regiment of the Territorial Army for a short period in 1942 before again trying the RNZAF.
Service Details: Richard joined the RNZAF at RNZAF Station Rongotai on the 14th of September 1942, transferring from the Territorial Army. Rather than the aircrew trade he’d originally hoped for, he was enlisted as an Equipment Assistant (Petrol). A fortnight after enlisting he transferred to RNZAF Station Woodbourne, where on the 5th of October he was reclassified with the rank of AC1, and LAC on the same date.
In January 1943 he was posted to RNZAF Station Rukuhia. He was one of the airmen who would be rostered on to guard the AR9 fuel depot in Cambridge, and it seems that when on duty there he was under the jurisdiction of RNZAF Hamilton’s Transport Section.
Details of Death: At 02.40hrs on the morning of the 14th of October 1943 a fire was discovered that had broken out in the barrack hut at AR9, Cambridge where the two guards normally slept. The fire was blazing fiercely and soon the building was completely destroyed. Cambridge Police Constables H.C. Maisey and F. Solly searched the ruins and found the charred body of LAC Richard Isaacs,. He was just 20 years old.
Buried at: Richard was buried in the Karori Cemetery in Wellington, grave reference 12. I/3. (S).
