I'm researching my great-grandfather, Robert Goldstein.
Robert Goldstein

I've found his obituary here:

Robert Goldstein MERIGOLD--Services for Robert Goldstein, 60, of Merigold were to be held at Fletcher Funeral Home Chapel in Cleveland at 2:30 p.m. today with Rabbi Leonard Kaplan officiating. Burial will follow in Beth Israel Cemetery in Cleveland with Fletcher Funeral Home in charge. Mr. Goldstein died at King's Daughters Hospital in Greenville Tuesday afternoon after a short illness. Born in Louisville, Ky., he had lived in Merigold for the past 34 years. He was a merchant and a member of the Beth Israel congregation at Clarksdale. Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Sophie Goldstein of Merigold; one daughter, Mrs. Leonard Kaplan of Albany, N.J.; his mother, Mrs. Fannie Goldstein of Louisville, Ky.; two brothers. Joe Goldstein of Cleveland and David Goldstein of Louisville, Ky.; one sister, Mrs. Ester Strull of Louisville, Ky. and five grandchildren.

Any guidance where I might be able to find the name of Robert's father, or any information about his mother, Fannie Goldstein? Robert was from Merigold, MS, so it's possible Fannie was also from there.

A quick Ancestry search located a Robert Goldstein in the 1930 census in Louisville, Kentucky, son of Lewis and Fanny, both born in Russia. The census also lists brothers Morris, Joseph, and David and sister Esther, so it sounds like your guy.
