Life Story

Magdalena, known as Lena, was born in New York to German parents in February 1868. We have no information on her parents names and her siblings as we have been unable to locate census records of her before she married Louis.

Lena raised her children and tended house as was typical of most married women during this time. She and Louis had six children: Susan (Susie), Margaretta (Maggie), George Michael, Julia, Anna and John. Lena lived an additional 19 years after her husband died; she died in Queens at age 75 on July 19, 1943.
