Max Nager was born in Hungary and came to the United States in 1884 at age nine.  In 1900, 21-year old Max and his 19-year old wife Gussie, who also migrated from Hungary in 1884, were renting an apartment on 8th St. in Manhattan.  Both were naturalized in 1899.  Max was employed as a salesman and the couple had no children at this time.  In 1920, the couple was living at 1216 Senecca Ave. in the Bronx, a newly developed neighborhood that was predominately Jewish.  Max was still employed as a salesman, and the couple had a son and daughter, who were both attending school.  Also living with the family was Gussie’s widowed mother Pauline Rosenzweig.
