Isaac came to US on the SS Homeric in 1927, arriving in New York. He immediately went to Detroit, where he lived with Samuel Kalt, and then returned to New York in 1929. Apparently Isaac was quite religious, and one of the reasons he went back to New York was that Samuel's family was not as religiously observant.

Isaac dued in 1942 at Gouvereur Hospital in New York. On his death certificate, his profession was listed as "carpenter". According to Millie, he was a Hebrew scribe and ran a general store in Komarno, Poland.
After Isaac's death, Yetta remarried and after her death in 1952 was interred under the name Yetta Schwartz.
