Notes for MICHAEL SCHAFFNER:
Very little is known about Michael today, as all the descendants of his
second wife are deceased, and the descendants of his first wife were apparently
estranged from him when he left Elizabeth, known as Lina, to
marry Amelia Hahn. It is said that he spent some time in England after
leaving Germany and before coming to the US. His children by his first
wife, who belonged to a temple in Cleveland, remained in Cleveland. His
children by his second wife established closer connections with Joseph
Schaffner (founder of Hart, Schaffner and Marx) in Chicago.

son Joseph was born). He was listed as a "merchant and grocer". At one
point he lived at 225 Pittsburgh Street in Cleveland. He and his wife
