Sadie Magaziner Markovitz
Sadie Magaziner (born Szune) was born in Humenne on June 5,
1879.
On January 14, 1906, Sadie married Bernath Markovitz in Philadelphia.
Bernath was born in Hungary on December 25, 1874.
He was one of the four
Markovitz brothers who founded a dry goods store in Philadelphia. Sadie's
architect brother, Louis, later performed design
work on buildings for the Markovitz Brothers store. Sadie and Bernath had
two daughters.
Bernath died suddenly in July 1927 while on a trip to Budapest with Sadie
and their daughters. His body was brought back to the United States by
Julius (Gyula) Magaziner, a son of
Henry's cousin Lajos.
Bernath was buried in Philadelphia.
Though Sadie lived nearly forty more years, she never remarried. Her
Social Security application indicates that she worked maintaining the
Markovitz Trust Fund with her nephew,
S. Henry Rosenthal.
Sadie died in June 1964 at the age of 85.
By an odd coincidence, Sadie and Bernath aren't the only Magaziner-Markovitz
couple. A grandson of Sadie's sister Jennie
marrried a granddaughter of Bernath's brother David Markovitz.
Children of Sadie Magaziner and Bernath Markovitz are:
-
Helene Markovitz (b: 27 OCT 1906; d: 11 OCT 1999)
- Cecelia Markovitz (b: 4 JAN 1909; d: FEB 1974)
