Nettie Klieger Wald was, according to her death certificate, the daughter of Charles (Chaim Ephraim) Klieger and Henrietta (Hndl) Richter. Nettie emigrated from Austria-Hungary (possibly Galicia) to New York City abt. 1906. She married Samuel Wald (b. 1888 or 1889, Galicia, Austria-Hungary; d. 7 Oct 1945, Bronx, NY) abt. 1910. They had one son: Sidney Wald.

A Nettie Klieger, factory machine operator, imm. 1906, appears in the 1910 census in a Lower East Side tenement, on Goerck Street. Immigration records suggest that her original given name might have been Nasche or Nusche.

The only things we know about her was 1) that she was frail. Her death certificate tells the story: her heart was damaged by rheumatic fever, and she suffered from chronic myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle). For the last year of her life, she was too ill to tend to the household. At the time of her death, she lived at 2715 Webb Avenue, Bronx, NY. 2) Her sister, Gussie (Gitl) Klieger also immigrated. Gussie married Russian Jewish tailor Louis Goldberg.

The Hebrew on her grave marker gives her Hebrew name, the name of her father, and the date of her death by the Jewish calendar:

"Here lies

Na'asha bat Chaim

20th of Av
