Sarah Benioff Horowitz

Sarah Benioff was born about April 1860 probably in Ignatovka near Kiev. She married Morris Horowitz in Russia, and they had eight children: Alexander Eli, Benjamin, Simon, Harry, David, Bertha, Frederick, and Jacob.

I was told that Sarah made eye drops and other types of medications that she sold. She came to the US 28 November, 1891, arriving in New York on the Scandia from Hamburg. She brought along Alexander Eli, Simon, Harry, and David. I believe Benjamin died en-route. Bertha, Frederick, and Jacob were all born in New York City.

Morris came from a family of cattle dealers, but in the US he worked as a shirt-maker and a dry-goods merchant.

Morris and Sarah both died in Los Angeles; Morris on 10 October, 1939, and Sarah on 29 June, 1930. They are both buried at Home of Peace Memorial Park in East Los Angeles.
