Hugo Magaziner (Haim)

Hugo Magaziner (born Haim) was born in Humenne on November 26, 1867. In the 1869 Hungarian census, Hugo was identified as Heinrich.

Hugo arrived in America in July 1886 on the Rhaetia from Hamburg to New York. He was naturalized on 11 Oct 1987. 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.

On January 14, 1902, Hugo married his second cousin on the Magaziner side, Sadie (Bottenstein) Frank.1 Sadie was a widow with two young children. She worked as a milliner in a business with her sisters. Sadie brought two young children to the marriage: Edwin (12) and Helen (8).

The couple moved back to Ohio and continued working in the millinary business. Hugo and Sadie may have had a son, Hugo Jr., who died in early childhood,2 but they did not have any other children together.

Hugo died in Ohio on December 29, 1936 at the age of 69. He is buried at Green Lawn in Columbus Ohio, along with his wife Sadie and her parents, Joseph and Pauline (Magaziner) Bottenstein.

Children of Hugo Magaziner and Sadie Bottenstein are:

  1. Hugo Magaziner (died young)

Footnotes

1. Hugo and Sadie's marriage certificate states that they are second cousins. If this is an accurate description of the relationship, then one of Sadie's parents is a first cousin of one of Hugo's parents, and one of Sadie's grandparents is a sibling of one of Hugo's grandparents. Sadie's mother's father was named Samuel Magaziner, the same name as a man in Homonna who had a number of children before and after Sadie's mother, so I have concluded that Samuel is the brother of Henry's father, Anschell.
2. 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. The age may be incorrect. I have seen other burial transcriptions for the same cemetery where the "age" field clearly contained information erroneously copied from some other column of information. However, this can't be Sadie's husband Hugo, because he was buried at Green Lawn Cemetery, so I'm assuming this is their child. I have not been able to find any record of the birth or death or existence of any child with this name in Ohio.
