A native of Austria-Hungary, possibly of Rohatyn, in Galicia, Nathan, Esther (his second wife) and several children immigrated to New York City in 1893. He was one of four known brothers who emigrated during the 1880s and 1890s; the others were Jacob, David, and Pinkus (Pinchas ben Shmuel).
In the early 1900s, Nathan and Esther lived deep in the Lower East Side--Essex at Delancey in 1900; Willett Street near Delancey and Pitt Streets in 1910. Esther told the censustaker they had had 11 children, five of whom survived to 1910: Sigmund (aka Selig or Samuel), Rose, Mary Anna, Sarah, and Mollie. All the family were engaged in factory or office work in the clothing industry, except Samuel, who was employed by the New York Metropolitan Transit Authority all his life, as a subway conductor and guard.
Mollie Wald married first Louis Meadow, and then, we believe, Rudolph Lederer. Rose married first Isidor Wallenstein and then Harry Austrian. Mary Anna remained single.
The Hebrew on this grave marker gives Nathan's Hebrew name and date of death by the Jewish calendar:
"Here lies
Na'ata Moshe bar Sh'muel
Rosh Kodesh (i.e, beginning of the month of) Sivan
5673"
