Minnie was depressed for much of her life, and received "shock therapy" one or more times

Lillian

Jean's son Adolph Bernstein apparently made a big deal of telling his son Eugene Bernstein that they were both fourth children and the first son in their families. This corresponds to Lillian, whom we only know from Adolph Bernstein's Family Tree, in which she is listed as "deceased," presumably in infancy or childhood.
