Magaziners of Humenne

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 1897. 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 born in Circleville, Ohio on May 28, 1869. At the time of the marriage, Sadie was a widow with two young children, Edwin (12) and Helen (8) Frank. Sadie worked as a milliner in a business with her sisters.

The couple moved back to Ohio and continued working in the millinary business. They apparently did not have any 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. Sadie died on March 31, 1963.

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.
