Their marriage took place around 1924 since the Census records give age at time of first marriage as 29 for David and 20 for Emilie. David was in general practice. The Browns had household help, Charlotte stock, an 18 year old from Germany. Emily's place of birth was given as New York. Her mother was born in Austria, Skolar and her father in Russia (Kiev). David's parents were born in Lithuania.
