Fannie Magaziner Rosenthal (Feige)
Fannie Magaziner (born Feige) was Henry's first
daughter, and the first child of Cecelia, born
in Humenne on December 12, 1865.
She was probably named after Cecelia's
mother.1
Fannie was the first member of the family to arrive in
America, arriving on the Rugia from Hamburg to New York City in March 1884,
at the age of 18. She was a dressmaker, and was probably one of the three
dressmaker daughters who brought the Magaziner family to
Philadelphia.2
Fannie was also the first of the Magaziner children to marry, marrying Alfred
Rosenthal, an American-born son of German immigrants, on April 11,
1888. Alfred owned a china business, and also worked as a letter carrier
(mailman). He served as a witness on Anthony's
naturalizaton papers, helping the first Magaziner become an American
citizen. Fannie and Alfred had four children.
Alfred died on September 9, 1924. Fannie died on October 8, 1935 at the age
of 69.
Children of Fannie Magaziner and Alfred Rosenthal are:
-
Willard Magaziner Rosenthal (b: 11 JAN 1889; d: OCT 1965)
- Henrietta Rosenthal (b: 20 SEP 1890; d: AUG 1987)
- Simon Henry Rosenthal (b: 10 APR 1894; d: 28 SEP 1985)

Henrietta "Etta" Rosenthal Kustin
Etta Rosenthal was born on September 20, 1890 in Philadelphia.
She worked as a bookkeeper for many years before she married.
As a young woman, she was a bride's maid at her aunt
Nellie's wedding.
Etta married Louis Aaron Kustin on November 24, 1921 in Philadelphia.
Louis was born on July 4, 1892 in Belarus. He was a surgeon and
medical professor specializing in ear, nose and throat. They had
two children, both of whom are still living. In their later days,
Etta and Louis lived in Jenkintown, as did many members of the Magaziner
family.
Louis died on July 13, 1986 at Dresher Hill Nursing Center. He was
buried at Roosevelt Memorial Park. Etta died a year later, in August 1987,
a month before her 97th birthday.
Simon Henry Rosenthal
S. Henry Rosenthal was born in Philadelphia on April 10, 1894. He was a
certified public accountant. In 1919, he founded the accounting firm of
Goldenberg-Rosenthal LLP with Benjamin Goldenberg. The practice merged with
his brother Alex's accounting firm in 1929, and continued
to do business in Jenkintown until shortly after Alex's death in 2008. It was
then acquired by Amper, Politziner & Mattia, now called EisnerAmper.
In 1921, Henry married Laura Gruenberg in Philadelphia. Laura was born on
July 12, 1893 in Minnesota. They had two children, both still living.
Henry died on September 28, 1985 at the age of 91. Laura died a year later,
in October 1986.
Alexander L. Rosenthal
Alex Rosenthal was born in Philadelphia on December 9, 1905. He attended
Central High School, and earned a degree from the Wharton School of Business,
University of Pennsylvania in 1926. He followed his older brother
Henry into the accounting field, and formed his own firm,
which merged with Henry's Goldenberg-Rosenthal. He continued to work there
as an accountant until 2001, at the age of 96, handling complex financial
affairs without a computer, or even an adding machine.
He married Edythe B. Pincus in Philadelphia in 1928. Edythe was born on
August 30, 1906 in Pennsylvania. They had three children, including a teenaged
Holocaust survivor that they adopted in the 1940s. Edythe died on July 20,
1990. Alex died on January 30, 2008 in Abington Hospital at the age of 102.
To date, he is the longest-lived member of this long-lived family, but that
record may be challenged: one of his living cousins recently turned 100.
