Mrs. Gussie Zuckerman died Sunday morning at 1 o’clock at Watts hospital from an illness of only two days duration. Her death was caused from bowel complaint and came as a distinct shock to her many friends throughout the city who knew nothing of her illness.
Forty years ago Mrs. Zuckerman came to America from the old country and, together with her husband, settled in New York where all of the surviving children were born. For several years they resided in New York. Twenty-five years ago they came to Durham to make their home. Within a year after their arrival here her husband died, leaving her with several young children. During the time she was a resident of Durham she reared her family of boys. She was known to every member of the Jewish race in Durham as well as to many of the Gentiles. She was a member of Beth-el synagogue.
Two days ago she was taken ill and carried to the hospital for treatment, but she failed to respond to it, so on the second day of her illness and in the 60th year of her life she passed out to her reward, leaving the following sons to mourn her loss: Ike L. and Charles T. Zuckerman of Durham; Jacob Zuckerman of Petersburg, Va.; William and Abe Zuckerman, both of New York, all of whom were at the bedside when the end came.
The funeral services will be held Monday morning at 10 o’clock in the Beth-el synagogue with Rev. A. Robinovitz, head of the local congregation, officiating. Burial will follow in the the Jewish cemetery on Morehead avenue.
