For decades Adelman’s shop, Osner Business Machines was an emergency room for typists with bent keys, problematic platens and ruined ribbons. They had been introduced by a cousin of hers who knew Stanley Adelman. Mary Adelman joined her husband after he took over the Osner shop in 1968. After her husband was injured in a bicycling accident in 1984 and retired, Mary Adelman kept the shop going, supervising typewriter technicians. At her death, Adelman was living in an assisted-living facility not far from Taswell and another daughter, Frederica Adelman Gulezian, whose homes are in Maryland.
