JENKINTOWN, Pennsylvania (GBT) — The death certificate of Minnie Snyder Anflick's mother, Eva Cohen Snyder Muzicant, was discovered last week on Ancestry.com. The document had evaded discovery for several months because Eva'a surname had been shortened to Musik. Eva died of bronchopneumonia at Mount Sinai Hospital in Philadelphia on 16 November 1924, according to the document, and was buried at Mount Sharon Cemetery in Springfield, Delaware County, on the same day. Her age was given to be 53 years old, but no date of birth was provided.
The document revealed no further information about Eva's past because its informant, Eva's second husband, Aaron Muzicant, apparently misunderstood some of its fields. He wrote his own name where he should have written the name of Eva's father, which is commonly believed to have been Wolf. Muzicant left blank the field where he should have written the name of Eva's mother.
A trip to Mount Sharon cemetery is currently being planned to photograph Eva's final resting place, and will likely take place before the end of July. ⬮
