Isidore Strauss and his wife were owners of Macy’s. He and his wife perished in the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. It is rumored that they remained on the ship because they did not want to leave before all the women and children were evacuated from the sinking ship, and Ida was not willing to leave without her husband. The monument in their memory is located in Strauss Park, which was built near where they lived. The sculpture was created three years after the sinking of the Titanic (1915)
