    Claire L. Runkel (1890-1936) and Oscar F. Grab (1886–1958) were married on March 23, 1915, at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in New York City. Claire was the daughter of Herman Runkel (1853-1918) and Victoria Rebecca Runkel (née Lopez) (1859-1927), of 150 W. 79th Street in New York City. Mr. Runkel was of the firm Runkel Brothers, chocolate manufacturers. "Oscar F. Grab , born Oskar Grab, was an Austro-Hungarian immigrant, United States citizen, and fashion executive. He was a saloon passenger aboard Lusitania who saw the torpedo impact the ship on May 7, 1915.. He saw lifeboats upset on the starboard side and jumped into the water instead of taking a chance in the lifeboats. He was rescued and survived the Lusitania disaster." His wife was not traveling with him. "Oscar and Claire moved in with Claire’s parents that October. The couple had two children, Victoria, born in 1916, and Donald born in 1923. Claire also authored a book, Fancies of a Child by a Child "By 1928, Oscar’s fashion company, O. F. Grab & Company, was a million-dollar business that had branches in France and Belgium and was employing 250 people. That year, Grab transferred his business to 14 top employees when he left the firm to become executive vice-president of the Lefcourt-Normandie National Bank. The next year, Grab became president of the Normandie National Securities Corporation, an investment affiliate of the bank." After the market crash, Oscar ran a styling service for fabric houses in New York from 1932 to World War II,. His office was in Paris, France. — Excerpted and compiled   [N Y Times] [N Y Times] [The Lusitania Resource] [Find A Grave]   [Obituary, NY Times]
