can reporter visiting the or-
phanage wrote about three
children who lost contact
with their mother in New
York. The story was
published in the New York
Times and a relative who
read it contacted Mrs.
Eichelbaum's mother. A few
weeks later, an agent was
hired to accompany
Elizabeth and her sisters to
New York.
Elizabeth was reunited
with her mother— already
remarried— in 1921. The
family lived together in New
York and then Detroit where
they worked together in a
family-owned restaurant.
Mrs. Eichelbaum com-
pleted ninth grade, but
wasn't able to take school
seriously because of the
demands placed on her at
home.
"I was really expected to
work and not go after an ed-
ucation," she said. "My
mother was embarrassed
that she worked, but hoped
I'd work as long as was
necessary to marry well. It's
ironic, really, that both of us
worked all our whole lives
anyway."
Elizabeth married Martin
Eichelbaum in Detroit short-
ly after her 18th birthday.
Together they started The
Bagel all-night restaurant
on Woodward near Vernon
It was considered by many to
be a Detroit institution, she
said.
When her husband died
about 17 years ago, she sold
the restaurant but stayed on
three days a week to help out
the new management. What
started as a part-time com-
mitment lasted 15 years.
When she wasn't working,
Mrs. Eichelbaum took art
classes at Oakland Com-
munity College.
Her children suggested she
study for the high school
equivalency exam and fur-
ther her education. That was
in 1975.
Two of her four sons are in
the art field today. One is a
commercial artist with his
own advertising agency in
Knoxville, Term., and one is
an art-therapist in New
York City.
They are all in Detroit this
week to help their mother
celebrate her new degree.
They have also planned a
party for her at the Novi
Hilton.
What's next for Elizabeth
Eichelbaum?
"Well, I've been looking
into the psychology Ph.D.
program at Wayne State,"
she said. "I should be hear-
ing from them in a few
weeks."
