Magaziners of Humenne

Updated 6/5/2009

	Hugo Magaziner (Haim) Hugo Magaziner (born Haim) was born on November 26, 1867.1 In the 1869 Hungarian census, Hugo was identified as Heinrich; however, this is likely a mistake: Henry, who usually went by Heinrich, was identified in that census record by Hugo's birth name, Chaim. On January 14, 1902, Hugo married a milliner named Sadie Frank, a widow from Columbus, Ohio.2 Sadie's maiden name was Bottenstein.3 Sadie brought two young children to the marriage: Edwin (12) and Helen (8).4 According to their marriage license, Sadie was Hugo's 2nd cousin. It appears that Sadie's mother, Pauline, was Henry's cousin.5 The couple moved back to Ohio.6 Hugo and Sadie may have had a son, Hugo Jr., who died in early childhood,7 but they did not have any other children together. Hugo was naturalized in 1897.8 His naturalization was witnessed by his brother, Anthony, the first of the Magaziners to become an American citizen. Hugo worked as a cabinetmaker at one time, and later as a millinary merchant.9 Hugo died in Ohio on December 29, 1936 at the age of 69.10 He is buried at Green Lawn in Columbus Ohio, along with his wife Sadie and her parents, Joseph and Pauline (Magaziner) Bottenstein.11

Footnotes

1. According to the Humenne Jewish birth registry. Other records, including census records and his marriage record, give ages and dates varying from 1867 to 1869; however, the birth registry is considered to be the most reliable source.

2. According to their Philadelphia Marriage Record.

3. The 1910 United States Census shows a Joseph Bottenstein, father-in-law, living in Hugo and Sadie's household. An 1880 census record for Joseph Bottenstein shows that he has a daughter named Sadie.

4. Edwin and Helen appear in Hugo and Sadie's household the 1910 census, listed as "son" and "daughter," and listed as if their surname was Magaziner. However, Joseph Bottenstein's 1900 census record includes Edwin and Helen Frank, listed as grandson and grandaughter, who are the right ages.

5. The death certificate of Pauline Bottenstein, dated January 31, 1904, identifies her parents as Samuel and Sarah Magaziner. Her interment record at Green Lawn Cemetery, as transcribed on a Delaware County Cemeteries website, indicates that her father's name was Israel Majaziner. The Humenne birth registries record many children of a man named Samuel or other S Magaziners in Humenne. The Other Magaziners tree tracks descendants of Samuel Magaziner.

6. The couple are living together in Ohio in the 1910, 1920 and 1930 census.

7. The JewishGen Online World Burial Registry lists a Hugo Magaziner, age 6, buried in an abandoned Jewish cemetery on Mt. Calvery Avenue in Columbus, Ohio. Because of the rarity of the name, particularly in that time and place, it seems likely that this is a child of Hugo and Sadie; however, I am still trying to track down the details.
8. According to his Petition for Naturalization.

9. According to various United States census records.

10. According to his Ohio death certificate.

11. According to the Green Lawn Cemetery interment records, as transcribed on a Delaware County Cemeteries website.
