Pauline Magaziner

Pauline Magaziner was born in Hungary around 1846, the daughter of Samuel Magaziner and Sarah Katz. It is impossible to be certain of her date of birth, because I can find no record of her birth and information about her date of birth is inconsistent and sometimes implausible. She may be Samuel's daughter Eszter, who was born October 13, 1845. She could also be Samuel and Sarah's daughter Perl, who was born August 17, 1852, but if so then she claimed to be six years older than she actually was, immigrated by herself before the age of 16 and had her first child at 17.

Pauline married Joseph Bottenstein, another Hungarian immigrant, in the United States in 1868. Joseph was a traveling salesman. Pauline and Joseph had three daughters. They lived first in Circleville, Ohio where their first two daughters were born. They later moved to Cleveland, where their third daughter was born, and finally to Columbus, where they lived from 1880 until their death.

Pauline died of pancreatic cancer on January 31, 1904. She was about 58 years old. Joseph died of stomach cancer on December 18, 1914. They are buried together at Green Lawn Cemetery in Columbus, Ohio.

Children of Pauline Magaziner and Joseph Bottenstein are:

64. Sadie Bottenstein (b: 28 MAY 1869; d: 31 MAR 1963)
65. Mayme Bottenstein (b: 9 JUN 1871; d: 18 AUG 1960)
66. Blanche Rose Bottenstein (b: 4 JUL 1876; d: 21 NOV 1943)

Generation #4

Sadie Bottenstein Frank Magaziner

Sadie Bottenstein was born on May 28, 1869 in Circleville, Ohio. She worked as a milliner along with her sisters.

On March 16, 1890, Sadie married Max Adolf Frank. Max was born in Germany on May 24, 1866. They had two children. Max died on January 18, 1896, when their children were very young.

On January 14, 1902, Sadie remarried to Hugo Magaziner, her second cousin on the Magaziner side. Sadie's maternal grandfather was the brother of Hugo's paternal grandfather. See illustration. They married in Philadelphia, where Hugo's family lived, but promptly moved back to Columbus, Ohio, where they continued the millinery business with Sadie's sisters. It's not clear whether Sadie and Hugo had any children together: there is a record of a tombstone for a Hugo Magaziner at the Mt. Calvery Avenue cemetery in Columbus, reported as being six years old, but the source has errors, and I haven't found any other evidence of Hugo Jr.'s birth or death.

Hugo died on December 29, 1936. He was buried at Green Lawn Cemetery in Columbus, Ohio, where Sadie's parents are buried. Sadie never remarried. She died March 31, 1963, at the age of 93. She is buried with Hugo and her parents at Green Lawn Cemetery.

George Sidney Simpson

George Sidney Simpson was born on September 21, 1908 in Columbus, Ohio. He was the son of Blanche Rose Bottenstein and George Martin Simpson.

George attended Ohio State University, where he was a championship sprinter. He was known as the "Buckeye Bullet" five years before Jesse Owens earned that nickname. In 1929, George set a world record for the 100 yard sprint, but the record was disqualified because he used starting blocks, a routine practice today but not accepted at the time. In 1932, George won an Olympic silver medal in the 200 meter sprint.

George married a woman named Myrna, and they had two children. George worked as Auditor for the Ohio Department of Taxation.

Sadly, George's athletic fitness didn't protect him from the family history of heart disease that took the lives of both of his parents. George died of a heart attack at the age of 55, on December 2, 1961 in Columbus, Ohio.
