Lena Magaziner Herbach (Leni)
Lena Magaziner was born in Humenne in 1869. She may have been named after
Cecelia's
mother.1
Lena was the second member of the family to arrive in
America, arriving on the Moravia from Hamburg to New York City in May 1885,
at the age of 16. She was probably one of the three dressmaker daughters
who brought the Magaziner family to
Philadelphia.2
On February 4, 1900, Lena married Louis Herbach, a fellow Hungarian immigrant.
Louis was born on March 15, 1871, and came to America at about the same time
that the Magaziner family did. Louis was co-founder of M & H Sporting Goods.
He
created this company with Louis Moskowitz, the husband of Lena's sister
Jennie (M & H stands for Moskowitz and
Herbach). After 1934, Louis started another business, Herbach & Rademan
Electronics Equipment. Lena and Louis had three children.
Lena died on June 15, 1952 at the age of 83 and was buried at Adath Jeshurun
Cemetery in Philadelphia. Many of the Magaziner clan are buried here or at the
adjacent Mt. Sinai Cemetery. Louis died on November 14, 1956 at Hahneman
Hospital.
