She had 4 sisters - one whose name was Basha (aka "Bessie") Fine (who married Shimin Zalman Klionsky) - and several brothers - Gershon Fine, Gdalia Fine, Harris Fine, etc. (It is possible that the name "Harris" was an English derivation of either "Gershon" or "Gdalia" - more research is necessary).
Harris Fine, Anna's older brother who was supposedly married to Isaac Benensohn's sister, was convinced that the conditions which existed on the Lower East Side were inappropriate for his family so, with the assistance of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society ("HIAS:), the family relocated to Binghamton, NY.
Although family members were beginning to go their separate ways, oral tradition states that they did stay in touch for a number of years through the "Fine Family Circle" which met twice a year in the old Pennsylvania Hotel in New York, NY.

After she had left the stage, without any attempt on the part of the defrauded audience to cheer her by applause, she returned with the five Barrison sisters.

 Double entendre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
King Ozymandias' intended meaning was that nobody could hope to equal his achievements, but time and neglect have rendered another meaning — that the mighty are mortal and will inevitably share his fate of oblivion in the sands of time.
One of the earliest examples of risque double entendre in American culture was the late 19th-century vaudeville act, the Barrison Sisters.
They danced, raising their skirts slightly and asking the audience: "Would you like to see my pussy?" After an enthusiastic response, they would raise up their skirts, revealing live kittens secured over their crotches.
