Jerome Sternberg was born November 10, 1890, in Savannah, Georgia (or possibly New York City), to Jacob Sternberg and Ida Rogers. He was their second born after Blanche, who was born in October 1888.
At the time of his birth, Jerome's parents lived in Savannah at 182 South Broad Street. But since South Broad Street no longer exists, we can't tell whether the original building still stands. Below is a clipping from the Savannah City Directory of 1890:
As you can see from this listing, Jacob, Jerome's father, was the manager of M. Sternberg & Brother, owned by Moritz and Simon Sternberg, sellers of "watches, jewelry, etc." Moritz and Simon were Jacob's brothers, so theirs was a family business. Moritz was the oldest brother. A year earlier, in 1889, Moritz was the sole owner of the jewelry store, so in 1890, Simon's partnership was relatively new.
