Pearl's Yiddish name was "Perel". She never learned to read and write English. She wrote letters in Yiddish, and would receive Yiddish letters back from her son, Jimmy Viener, the only one of her children who learned Yiddish handwriting. Her other children did speak Yiddish, though. The 1920 U.S. Census suggests she was born in 1874, not 1870, nor 1871 as indicated in her Certificate of Death.
Especially after her husband Moishe's death, Perel often preferred to spend time alone. She was quite affectionate toward her grandson, Marshall Yeager. Marshall (1993) said that his grandmother, in her older age, would spend considerable time sitting by her window and looking out. CERTIFICATE OF DEATH (#6005): Pearl Viener, about 83 [b. 1871], d. 23 May 1954 at 3551 Huntington, St. Louis Park, MN; born Russia; widowed, Morris; father, Raphel Oreckovsky; mother, Esther (unknown); informant, Mrs. J. Yaeger; cause, coronary heart disease, generalized arteriosclerosis, 9 yrs; diabetes mellitus, over 18 yrs; buried 26 May 1954, Duluth, MN OBITUARY (Duluth newspaper): "..age 83, former Duluth resident for 40 years, died yesterday in the home of a daughter, Mrs. Sam Fink, Minneapolis. She had lived in Duluth until 1936 when she moved to Minneapolis to make her home with another daughter, Mrs. Jules Yaeger.. 11 great grandchildren."
