  • Esther Swentoslawski Morrison Fisher was born about 1888 in Klodawa, Poland. She was the daughter of Moishe Swentoslawski and Pearl Kolsky.

    She maried Gustave Fisher. Esther's nephew, Ray Morrison, said he may have been in the necktie business. They had two children Paula Fisher Schuman and George Fisher.

    According to Paula, the family was brought to Los Angeles from Poland as an eleventh hour rescue before World War II and they lived in a building owned by her brother, Isidor and another Landsman named Isidor Silver.

    Gustave died in 1953 and Esther died in 1963.

    Klodawa is just north of Lodz in the Posnan or Posen province. Before World War I, Poland was a province of the Russian empire.
