Nathan Grief's gravestone is the source of many mysteries.
In English, it reads Naphtole Greif.
In Hebrew, it reads Naftali Eliezer ben Chaim Ya'acov Greif
(rhymes with "strife").
Nathan's naturalization is for Nathan Grief, which includes his business card for N. Grief.
In any case, the family all used Grief, pronounced like "Good Grief!".
Nathan's children were all buried in Montreal,
and there is some variation in his name on their gravestones.
- Dora Jacobson - Devorah bat Naftali
- Harry - Aaron bar Naftali Eliezer
- Alex Griff - Hillel bar Naftali
- Esther Apel - Ester bat Natan
- Samuel - Shlomo bar Naftali Eliezer
- Sarah Aaron Rosen - Sarah bat Naftali
- Myer - Meir bar Naftali haLevi
- Bella Perlman - Beila bat Naftali Eliezer
So, three of eight children have Naftali Eliezer, three have just Naftali, one has Natan, and one
has Naftali haLevi.
