Magdalen (= Magdaline) Juliana Schwert was born on July 25, 1886, in Buffalo, New York. Magdalen was baptized on August 1, 1886, by Fr. Ferdinand Kolb, Saint Boniface R.C. Church, 124 Locust Street, Buffalo.
The 1938 obituary for Magdalen's father states that Magdalen is married to George Hofmann.
A "George P. Hofmann," born on September 16, 1886, and residing at 376 Landon Street in Buffalo with his wife and one child, completed a World War I draft registration card. On this card, George declares that he is employed by the Crosby Company.
The 1920 U.S. Census shows a "Magdalen" (age "33") married to "George P. Hofmann" (likewise, age "33") and residing at 359 Winslow Street in Buffalo with their daughter "Venita" (age "5"). The 1930 U.S. Census shows Magdalen (age "43") and George (age "43") residing at 376 Landon Street in Buffalo, with their two children Venita (age "16") and Ruth (age "9") -- and with "Peter Hofmann" (age "75"), who is apparently George's father.
"George P. Hofmann," born on "September 16, 1886," also completed a World War II draft registration card. On this card, George shows that he and his "wife" residing at 307 E 157th Street, Bronx, New York, NY. On this card, George declares that he is employed by the Eagle Warehouse.
The Social Security Death Index show a George Hofmann born on "September 16, 1886," and deceased in "April, 1974"; at that time, George resided in Rochester, NY. There is no matching Social Security Death Index record for a Magdalen (or Magdaline) Hofmann, and we are therefore unable to determine her date/place of death.
