# Esther Bauman (b.1850)  > 🔴 **Dahne — Sarah's side** · Relationship to Ozzy: **wife's 3x great-grandmother** **Born** ~1850 — [[Austria]] **Died** 07/30/1932 — [[Manhattan]] **Parents** [[Jacob Bauman]] · [[Mollie]] **Spouse** [[Leon Springer (b.1853)]] **Children** [[Harry Marcus Springer (b.1888)]] · [[Sophie Frank (b.1883)]] *GEDCOM I142726661989 · Dahne tree · synced 2026-07-01*  ## Narrative Esther Bauman was born about 1850 in Austria — that is, Austrian Galicia, the family being placed by her son [[Harry Marcus Springer (b.1888)]]'s recorded birthplace of [[Głogów Małopolski]] in the western (Galician) part of the empire.[?] Her parents are recorded as [[Jacob Bauman]] and [[Mollie]]. She married [[Leon Springer (b.1853)]], also born in Austrian Galicia (1853). Their children included [[Sophie Frank (b.1883)]] and [[Harry Marcus Springer (b.1888)]], the latter born in Głogów Małopolski, which locates the family in that district in the late 1880s. Leon Springer is recorded as dying in Austria in 1900, leaving Esther a widow; U.S. census entries consistently record her marital status as widowed. Esther appears in the United States living with married family as a mother-in-law — the household relation and widowed status recorded across the census abstracts suggest she emigrated after Leon's death and lived within a child's household in New York.[?] One census abstract gives her occupation as **button cutter**, a piecework garment trade common in the Lower East Side and Manhattan clothing districts of the period; a later abstract records no occupation, consistent with advancing age. She died 30 July 1932 in [[Manhattan]]. The above is drawn from the GEDCOM vitals and the census-derived MyHeritage abstracts in the MyHeritage biography; the surviving detail is sparse and no independent record images are attached to this profile. ## Research *(your reasoning — preserved across every rebuild)* ## Evidence ## Open questions
