About Ignatz Engel

According to the marriage record of his son Peter, Ignatz was a cab driver (horse-drawn cab, in that era). His death certificate says he was a "salesman for horses," and other family stories say he did various professional things involving horses (training, etc).

Born in 1854, Ignatz spent the first 56 years of his life in his native Hungary, but then moved to New York in 1910, where several of his children had already immigrated. He passed away eight years later, and is buried in Mount Hebron Cemetery, Queens, NYC.
