Hannah Magaziner was Henry's younger sister. Her marriage registry lists her parent as Schondl Ziner, female innkeeper. This corresponds to Sari "Schondel" Ganzfried, Anchell's widow, who appeared in the 1869 census as an innkeeper.
Hannah was born in Humenne around 1839. She married Kalman Josef Jacobovics in Humenne on August 17, 1858. Kalman was born on August 12, 1833 in Nagy-Kemence, Hungary (now Slovakia). He made a fortune in the liquor business in Vienna. Hannah and Kalman had at least nine children in Hungary.
In 1879/80, the entire Jacobovics family emigrated to New York on the Circassia from Hamburg to New York by way of Glasgow. The family lived in New York for a while, appearing there in the 1880 census. Two of their daughters married in New York. The family moved to Philadelphia in 1883 and adopted the name Jacoby. Kalman increased his wealth in America in the cigar manufacturing business. The Jacobys were already settled in Philadelphia when Henry and his family arrived, and they lived within a few blocks of the Magaziners. The families apparently remained close: in 1906, the entire Magaziner family in Philadelphia attended the wedding of Hannah's granddaughter, Jenette.
Hannah died in Philadelphia on May 14, 1888, of cancer of the stomach and liver. She was 49 years old. She was buried at East Hill Cemetery, possibly a predecessor of Mt. Carmel, which did not yet exist. Kalman died on April 29, 1911, while he was visiting their son Andrew at his home in Atlantic City. It was reported in newspapers around the country that 78-year-old Kalman was seated surrounded by his family, humming a popular tune, when his heart suddenly stopped and he collapsed dead into the arms of one of his daughters. Son-in-law Kiwa Schwartz closed his Chester department store, managed by Kalman's son Anthony, for the day after Kalman's death. Kalman was buried at Mt. Carmel Cemetery in Philadelphia according to both his death certificate and the cemetery's records, but I have not yet found his tombstone.
Lena Jacobovics was born in Hungary on July 23, 1859. She emigrated to New York with the rest of the family in 1879/1880 on the Circassia from Hamburg to New York by way of Glasgow.

Lena and William moved to Philadelphia with the rest of the family in 1883. They had two children in Philadelphia. In 1911, they moved to Youngstown Ohio, where their daughter Jenette lived with her husband.
Lena died of bowel cancer in Youngstown on March 1, 1914, at the age of 54. She was buried at Children of Israel Cemetery in Ohio. William died of stomach cancer on April 11, 1934 in Youngstown. He was buried with Lena at Children of Israel.
Chane Jacobovics was born in Nagy-Kemence, Hungary on January 12, 1860. She emigrated to New York with the rest of the family in 1879/1880 under the name Hermine. In America, she was known as Minnie. She moved to Philadelphia with the rest of the family in 1883.

Esther and Nathan moved to Philadelphia with the rest of the family in 1883. Nathan was in the dry goods business. They lived for a while in Easton, Pennsylvania, possibly for reasons related to the business. Esther and Nathan had nine children, one of whom died in childhood.
Nathan died of heart disease in Philadelphia on May 19, 1920, and was buried at Mt. Carmel Cemetery. After Nathan's death, Esther lived in Atlantic City, near her brother Andrew. She lived in that area the rest of her life. Esther died of a heart attack in Atlantic City on January 21, 1941, at the age of 80. She was buried at Mt.

Anthony moved to Philadelphia with the rest of the family in 1883. He worked for his brother-in-law Kiwa Schwartz's department store, first as a salesman and later as manager of the store.
On October 30, 1892, Anthony married Miriam Harris in Philadelphia. Miriam was born in Philadelphia on February 14, 1869. They had one child, Henry, in 1893, but Miriam died of pernicious anemia on April 25, 1895. She was buried at Chevra Bikur Cholim in Philadelphia, the same small cemetery where Henry Magaziner, his daughter Fannie and Fannie's son Willard were buried. For a while, Henry was sent to live with Miriam's uncle, David Harris, but Henry was back with Anthony in the 1910 census.
Anthony remarried to Laura K. Tintsman in Wilmington, Delaware on June 26, 1919. Laura was born in Philadelphia on December 6, 1869. She worked as dress fitter. The marriage was not long-lived: Anthony died on April 15, 1922, when he was strangled by a mental patient at Friends Asylum in a dispute over choice of beds. He was buried at Mt.

He emigrated to New York with the rest of the family in 1879/1880, but for reasons that are not clear, he was listed as 4 years younger than he actually was. All other available records put his birth around 1871, but the 1880 ship manifest says he is 5 years old. In America, he was known as Andrew Noah Jacoby. Andrew moved to Philadelphia with the rest of the family in 1883, but he soon made his home in Atlantic City. Andrew worked as a cigar merchant under the business name House of Jacoby in Atlantic City.

Andrew and Rachel were living with their son Byron in 1940. Andrew died on May 3, 1941 and was buried at Beth Israel Cemetery in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey. Louis Magaziner and Louis Herbach (Jennie Magaziner's husband) made charitable donations in his memory. Rachel died on 12 Nov 1942 and was buried with Andrew at Beth Israel.
Miriam Jacobovics was born in Hungary around 1873. She emigrated to New York with the rest of the family in 1879/1880, but for reasons that are not clear, she was listed as several years younger than she actually was. All other available records put her birth around 1873, but the 1880 ship manifest says she is 3 years old.
Mary married Alexander Ermann in Philadelphia on April 12, 1891. Alex was born in Philadelphia on February 22, 1868. He worked as a mail carrier for many years, the same occupation as Anthony Magaziner, and they lived on the same block as Jennie Magaziner. They had three children, one of whom died in infancy.
Alex died of a cerebral hemorrhage in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania on April 9, 1938 after suffering from high blood pressure for many years. He was buried at Adath Jeshurun, in the same section where Sadie, Louis, Lena and Anna were buried. Mary continued to live in Philadelphia with widowed daughter Ruth for a while, then moved to Bethlehem and lived with daughter Hortense. She continued to appear in the Bethlehem phone directory at Hortense's address until 1951. She is probably the Mary Ermann who died in Dade County, Florida, where her daughters were living, in May 1962. It is not clear whether she was buried with Alex at Adath Jeshurun: his tombstone includes her name and date of birth, but no date of death.
Lowy Jacobovics was born in Nagy-Kemence, Hungary on June 12, 1875. He emigrated to New York with the rest of the family in 1879/1880, but for reasons that are not clear, he was listed as 5 years younger than he actually was. There is no question about his actual date of birth, because his birth was recorded in the Humenne birth registry, but the 1880 ship manifest says he is 1 year old. In America, he was known as Louis. Louis moved to Philadelphia with the rest of the family in 1883. Louis worked for many years as a clothing salesman at the department store owned by his brother-in-law, Kiwa Schwartz.

For many of those years, she lived in Atlantic City, where her mother and several other Jacoby relatives lived. She died of artriosclerotic cardiovascular disease in Philadelphia on March 31, 1946 at the age of 61. It was believed that grief over the recent deaths of her son in World War II and her brother Julius were contributing factors in her death. She was buried with Samuel at Oheb Zedek.

By 1940, Jean was living alone in Miami Beach and working as a real estate broker. Jean and Anthony's daughter Kay Elizabeth, who was 9 weeks old at the time of Anthony's death, was not living with her mother in the 1940 census and I have not yet found her with anybody else. In fact, I have not found any evidence of Kay until she married writer Paul Breslow in New York in 1960. Kiwa's extensive real estate in Chester City, Pennsylvania, was apparently in a trust for Kay's benefit and finally came to be in her possession in 1971.

The marriage was recorded in the records of the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany, Ventnor, New Jersey. Doris was a professional pianist and organist from a very early age.

Morton died of membranous croup on February 26, 1895 at the age of 17 months. His death certificate erroneously identifies his parents as Jacob and Fannie Ermann, but his birth record and Philadelphia Inquirer death notice indicate that he was the son of Alex and Mary.

Hortense Ermann was born in Philadelphia on April 11, 1898, the daughter of Mary Jacoby and Alexander Ermann.
