An entry in a 1939 passenger list (crossed out, with a note that she was not on board) names her sister as Mathilde Riesenfeld and states her intention to stay with her brother Adolf. Her age is shown as 38 years, so born 1900-01.

Evidently, Else did eventually emigrate to the USA, as she is shown as living with her brother Adolf and described as his sister, aged 40 and single in the 1940 census of New York City, so born 1899-1900.

Else died single and is buried next to her brother Henry and his wife.
