Henry Magaziner (Heinrich, Henrik)
Henry Magaziner is the patriarch of this Magaziner family tree. He was born on
July 3, 1836 in Homonna Hungary (now Humenne Slovakia), the son of Anchell
Magaziner and Sarah Cooper. In Hungary, Henry was known as Heinrich or
Henrik.
Henry was married twice and fathered 12 children, ten of whom survived to
adulthood, married and had children of their own. Henry married first
Resi Friedman in the late 1850s or early 1860s, and
they had Anthony and Jakob.
Resi died on February 25, 1864. Henry then married
Cecelia Rosenbluth on September 8, 1864. Cecelia
was the mother of Henry's remaining ten children.
Henry was a carpenter and later a dry goods merchant. Henry, Cecelia
and the younger children emigrated to Philadelphia by way of Baltimore
on the Hermann in June 1887. Some of his older children had already arrived
over the preceding few years.1
Henry became an American citizen on October 15, 1897, by a petition witnessed
by his oldest son Anthony, who was naturalized the
previous year.
Henry was obviously well-loved, because many of the Magaziner children passed
on his name to their sons and even a daughter, either as a first name or as a
middle name.2
Henry died of stomach cancer on January 22, 1909 at the age of 73 and was
buried at Chevra Bikur Cholem Cemetery in Philadelphia.
