Lillian Rosenthal: Shoplifting

Lillian Rosenthal was born Abt 1899 in New York, possible parents Joseph Rosenthal & Erestine.




 Inmate: #10329 Sacramento, CA Jail

Arrested: 3 Jan 1924

Crime: Shoplifting 

She had been arrested before in San Francisco as inmate #35587 San Francisco Jail & in King County, WA as Inmate # L-1024.

I found these newspaper clippings:






Here's her San Francisco arrest



I have no idea what happened to Lillian after 1924. I did find a Lillian Rosenthal in San Francisco city directory in 1926 & 1927, could this be her?

More mystery, she was a pretty lady, I would imagine she had of married at some point in her life. I didn't find any census records for her in California. I found a 1920 census I think is her with her family in New York, was this right before she went to California?
