Death records LDS 642979 vol 46

From the archives of the Center for Jewish History in NYC:
Rubin Goldmark was cantor at the Jewish congregation of the Hungarian town of Keszthely, which was a favored summer destination for elegant visitors at the very west end of Lake Balaton.
Ruben Goldmark, who later moved to Budapest was married first to Edelise Mendelsburg, who died shortly after giving birth to a son, Josef (1819-1880) and then to Marie Krauss who gave him many children: Carl (1830-1915) became an internationally well known and established composer, Leo (1840?-1927) was first a cantor near Prague and later on moved to America where he had many professions.
Other children of Rubin (senior) included Johanna, Sandor, Ignatz, Adolf, Rosalie, and Anna. Four of these children moved to America: Josef for political reasons (1848) and Leo, Adolph and Anna either for economic or family reasons (1860s)
Rubin (senior) was very poor at the end of his life, quite ill, and always concerned about his family's financial situation. In 1862, he made the attempt to leave for America too, but health prevented him from going. He had a high sense of culture, and education and learning were of great importance to him.
