George D. Leavitt George D. Leavitt, 63, of 40 Shaw st., West Roxbury, associated with the Boston Assessors office for the past 34 years, died suddenly Saturday night at Norwood Hospital of a heart attack. Mr. Leavitt was driving his car from Providence when stricken. He came to America from Poland at the age of 13 and was graduated from Boston university in 1924. He leaves a wife, Kate (Gamrin); three daughters, Mrs. Charlotte Brier of Needham Heights; Mrs. Beverly Goffin of Ashland, Ky.; Mrs. Sophie Schlafman of Haverhill; a mother, Mrs. Sarah Leavitt of Haverhill; two sisters, Mrs. Edith Baker of Rumford, R.I., and Mrs. Matilda Fox of East Providence, and four grandchildren. Services will be held at 1:30 today at Stanetsky memorial chapels, 1868 Beacon St., Brookline.
Note: An obituary for George's mother, Sarah, shows that Sophie Schlafman was Sarah's daughter and George's sister, not his daughter. The 1920 Census for Israel and Sarah Leavitt also show the 3 siblings as George, Matilda, and Edith. The 1910 Census for Israel and Sarah show 4 siblings, George, Sophia, Ida, and Matilda. It is assumed Ida and Edith are the same person.
