Simon Horwitz  1886 - 1940

• Nickname	Simcha
  Birth	26 Oct 1886	Rezekne, Latgale, Latvia
  	According to his death certificate with information provided by Milton Horwitz, his date of birth was 26 Oct 1886 and he was 53 years old. Minnie, his wife, was shown as age 55 at the time of his death. That would have made him about 10 or 11 years old when the 1897 All Russia Census was taken. The census record indicates there was a Simcha who was 14 in the family. This would indicate a birth year of 1882/3. The census had other errors. We are assuming the death certificate and naturalization papers are more accurate. His naturalization document 899550 shows that he and Minnie became citizens when he was 32 years old, on 18 September 1919. At the time Minnie was 33 and Milton was age 4. They were living at 2019 Iowa Street, Chicago, IL at the time. It indicated that he was 5 ft 3 inches tall, white, fair complexion with brown eyes and brown hair.
