Triangle Shirtwaist Factory - New York Times

 
 My grandfather's sister, Fanny Rosen. got her picture in the New York Times in February 21, 2011 nearly 100 years after her death in the Triangle Shirtwaist Company Fire of 1911. She was the last to be identified in 2010.
In Records, Portraits of Lives Cut Short
100 Years Later, the Roll of the Dead in a Factory Fire Is Complete

An update:   Fanny came to the United States by herself.  When she died in the fire, an insurance company paid out. The money was used by grandfather and grandmother to pay for their passage to Canada in 1912.
