A polyglot is defined as a person who can speak and use many languages. (Neither of us are a polyglot — Heavens, no!) However, it seems that many of our ancestors are from parts of the world where, over time, there were many different cultures in charge depending upon the era. “The noun polity refers to a political group of any size or shape— it can be a government, a state, a country, or even a social group. When you hear the word polity, think politics and you’re on the right track.” Maybe it’s time to coin a new word: poly-polity.
From the Celtics, to the Romans, to the Mongols… and so forth
“The history of Budapest began when an early Celtic settlement transformed into the Roman town of Aquincum, the capital of Lower Pannonia. At the time, the settlement was at the edge of the Roman Empire. The Hungarians arrived in the territory in the late 9th century, but the area was pillaged by the Mongols in 1241–42. Over the centuries, the area became known as Buda.
It became one of the centers for Italian Renaissance culture by the 15th century, [which] was particularly significant during the reign of King Matthias Corvinus. His library, the Bibliotheca Corviniana, was Europe’s greatest collection of historical chronicles and philosophic and scientific works in the 15th century, and second in size only to the Vatican library. After the foundation of the first Hungarian university in Pécs in 1367, the second one was established in Óbuda in 1395. The first Hungarian book was printed in Buda in 1473, [and it had] about 5,000 inhabitants around 1500.

The Ottoman Turks conquered Buda in 1526, as well in 1529, and finally occupied it in 1541. Turkish rule lasted for more than 150 years. The unoccupied western part of the country became part of the Habsburg monarchy as Royal Hungary.
The 19th century was dominated by the Hungarian struggle for independence and modernisation. The national insurrection against the Habsburgs began in the Hungarian capital in 1848 and was defeated one and a half years later, with the help of the Russian Empire. 1867 was the year of [the] Reconciliation that brought about the birth of the Austro-Hungarian Empire… After the unification of Buda, Óbuda, and Pest on November 17, 1873, with the name Budapest given to the new capital, [which] made Budapest the twin capital of a dual monarchy. The Austro-Hungarian Empire [was] dissolved in 1918, following [the end of] WW I.” (1)
Mary Muck Immigrates to America
Our ancestor Maria Muck, was born on April 4, 1896, in Bogyiszló, Pest-Pilis-Solt-Kiskun, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. (Present day Budapest, Hungary). Her parents were Pál (Paul) Muck and Erszébet (Elizabeth), last name unknown. We really don’t know anything about her parents. Her baptismal name is Maria, but it seems she became Mary upon her arrival in America.
Mary immigrated to America on the steamer ship Lapland leaving from Antwerp, Belgium on November 20, 1913, and arriving at Ellis Island, New York on December 8, 1913. Closely examining the immigration document from Ellis Island, it appears she traveled with three other young women: Rosalina Urspringer, Maria Schmidt, and Maria Shiener.
Historical Observation —
One can see in the postcard image above, as stated, that they had sailed on the Red Star Line steamer ship, the Lapland. This was in 1913. During our research, we discovered that this particular ship had been designated in April 1912 (the previous year), for a special sailing. It returned the 172 surviving crew members of the R.M.S. Titanic, from New York City, to Plymouth, England. (See footnotes).
Returning to Maria and her fellow travelers — all four claimed Bikacs, Hungary, as their last permanent address. Each listed themselves as a servant ranging in ages from 18 to 22, and all were single. Lastly, all four identified Akron, Ohio, as their final destination for permanent residence. There are two categories in which they gave the same answer—
Nationality (country): Hungary
Race or People: German
The original document found online is slightly trimmed off at the bottom, but in the notes section it indicates that a cousin, Konrad Hartenstein, was Mary’s contact in Akron. Researching that name, we found a Konrad Hartenstein who immigrated to America from Hungary in 1910. He was a 31 year old man whose destination was also Akron, Ohio. What brought them both to Akron, Ohio? It may have been the opportunity to work in one of the thriving rubber companies: Goodyear Rubber Co., Goodrich Rubber Co., or Firestone.
“What might be called the ‘first wave’ of Hungarians to Akron and Summit County occurred in mid 1890s and continued up until the First World War when a lull in European immigration occurred. During this time period, only the Germans, Irish, and Italians sent more immigrants to the U.S. than those from the Austria-Hungary Empire. The vast majority of these initial immigrants from Hungary were unskilled laborers and were met with suspicion and the derisive American slang epithet of ‘Hunkie’.
By November of 1911, the Beacon Journal was trumpeting the fact that Akron was the home of 6,000 Hungarians known as the ‘Akron Colony,’ and they formed ‘the larger part of the foreign population’ within the city… Akron, with its expanding factories and corresponding constant demand for additional laborers, …that “not a day passes but that Hungarians from across the seas locate in Akron.” (2)

John Schott, the Young Widower
On the immigration document Mary identified herself as a servant, but it appears she eventually became a rubber worker. That is the occupation she named on the marriage application when she married John Schott. We don’t know specifically when, or where, Mary Muck met John Schott, but it seems logical that they met through their work. Both of them worked within the community of people who worked at the numerous Akron rubber plants. John Schott was a young widower. He had married Teres Mandl on October 13, 1914. We have no further records on her, but we know that she died within the first year of their marriage. John indicated that on his marriage document with Mary, that Teres was no longer living.
Three years after her arrival, Mary and John were married on November 12, 1915 in Akron, Ohio. Their daughter Mary Schott was born on February 23, 1917. She was only eight months old when her father died on October 12, 1917. His death certificate indicates that he died aged 21 years, 4 months, 27 days. John’s cause of death was general septicemia (a bacterial blood infection), complicated by emphysema.
Mary was now a 23 year old widow with a daughter to raise. (3)
Six Months Later She Married Henry Muth
Hendrick (Harry) Muth immigrated to America in 1907 when he was 17 years old. He traveled on the ship Bluecher departing from Hamburg, Germany. On the ship’s manifest he identifies his previous location as Ketfel, Hungary. At the time, the town was on the Austria-Hungary border, and today it is in Romania. For an unknown reason Henry submitted two Declaration of Intentions documents for naturalization. The first was in 1915 when he lived in Michigan. He may have intended to get his citizenship at that time but did not complete it. The other in 1923, is when he lived in Ohio and eventually did become a citizen. On both naturalization papers he indicates his birth location as Csikóstőttős, Austria-Hungary. While living in Michigan, he did complete a registration card for WW I. He was 5 foot eight inches tall, weighed 154 pounds, had blond/light brown hair and blue grey eyes.
Once he arrived in America his whereabouts from 1907 to January 1915 is unknown. Records appear when he marries Karoline Dakart in Michigan.
On January 30, 1915 Henry Muth and Karoline Dakart were married in Detroit, Michigan. She was born in Austria-Hungary in 1894. On November 15, 1915 they had a son, Harry H. Muth, born in Detroit. At some time before March 1917, they moved to Riverdale, Cook County, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. On March 11, 1917, a second son, Leonard Muth was born.
This was both a very joyous and a very sad period of time in Henry Muth’s life. He was married with two sons. Then on December 2, 1917 his wife Karoline died, reason unknown. Two months and a few days later, on February 8, 1918, baby son Leonard died — he was only eleven months old. He also is buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery. After these two deaths, Henry and his son Harry moved to Akron, Ohio. Both mother and son are buried in the Mount Olivet Catholic Cemetery in Chicago, Illinois. (4)
A Blended Family
Henry Muth, a widower,
and Mary (Muck) Schott,
a widow, were married
on April 16, 1918, in Akron,
Ohio. On their marriage
license he names his
parents as Phillip Muth
and Katherine Keller.
Mary names her father as
Paul Muck and her mother
as Elizabeth Muck. (Our
research has not revealed Elizabeth’s maiden name.)
The Muth marriage began
with two very young children. Harry Henry Muth was two years, six months and Mary Schott was one year, two months. Two more sons joined the family.
On January 19, 1919, George Muth, a honeymoon baby,
was born in Akron, Ohio
almost nine months
to the day from when his
parents married. On
January 23, 1922, John Muth
was born. This completed the blended Muth family.
In the 1920 census, the family was comprised of Henry and Mary, sons Harry, age 4, George, age 11 months, and daughter Mary Schott, age 3. Henry identified his occupation as a machinist. On all of the future census, Henry will identify his occupation as a machinist. Both Henry and Mary indicated that the language spoken at home was German — they could speak English, but must have preferred speaking German.
By the 1930 census, John has joined the family. This census has a mistake in that their son George is identified as a stepson. His name is listed right after Mary’s who is listed as stepdaughter. Also, Mary’s last name, Schott, is not used on this census as it was on the 1920 Census. We find that there is often inconsistency with some census material. Either the person giving the information, or the person taking it, make mistakes when writing it down.
The information on this census tells us that Henry owned his home which was valued at $7000. He became a naturalized citizen in 1926, but Mary (his wife) was identified as an alien. An undated document from the Department of Labor, Immigration and Naturalization Services has Mary’s birth date, country of birth, date and port of arrival. It is witnessed by George and Eva Kohler and the address is in Cuyahoga Falls, which means it was completed at a later time. The line where a date for naturalization should be filled in is blank. So perhaps, Mary never became a naturalized United States citizen, or someone forgot to fill in the date.

On the 1940 census, George and John are still living at home with their parents. Daughter Mary is not on the 1940 census because she married Thomas Narusch in 1938. (See our blog post, The Narusch Line, A Narrative.)
On the 1950 census, just Henry and Mary are living at home. Henry is still working in the rubber industry, as a machinist, molder, and polisher. There are two additional interesting things to note on this census. First, Mary was selected for a few additional questions, which correlated to her entry line 24. Secondly, notice that in column 13, the census asked about place of birth. The next column “Leave Blank B” follows. If you were born in Ohio, the B Column is left blank. If you are born in a state or country outside of Ohio, a code number would be written there. “These codes were added later, after the enumerator had handed in their work, as part of the editing process. After the census data was collected it needed to be translated into codes on punch cards that the machines could read, and then tabulate into statistical information.” The number 126 is beside both of their names with 26 being the code for Hungary. (5)
Harry, George, and John Muth
Harry Muth was not on the 1940 census because he joined the United States Navy in April 1940, before the United States entered WW II. He served in the Navy until May 1962. Harry Muth died in 1993 in California. He and his wife Goldie Marie (Neuenschwander) Muth are buried in the San Joaquin National Cemetery in Merced County, California.
George Muth married Josephine Miller in 1942 in Akron. He joined the Army in 1943 and served until the end of World War II in 1945. George died in Northampton Township, Summit County, Ohio, in 1997.
John Muth joined the United States Navy and served in WW II and the Korean War. In 1956, he married Julia Aswad in Alameda, California and lived the rest of his life in Northern California. He died in 2010, and is buried in the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery in Solano County, California. (6)
The Third Husband, John George Schall, is Also a Widower
On December 15, 1951, Henry Muth died in Akron, Ohio. His cause of death is unknown. He is buried at the Chestnut Hill Memorial Park in Cuyahoga Falls, Cuyahoga County, Ohio.
One can surmise that Mary (Muck) Schott Muth liked being married to Hungarian gentlemen, and that the ones who came her way, were widowers. She married a third time to John George Schall on October 19, 1953, in Akron, Ohio. John was a widower whose wife Elizabeth (Binder) Schall, died about 1952. They moved to Whittier, California where Mary died on November 25, 1965. She is buried in Chestnut Hill Memorial Park with her second husband, Henry Muth, in Cuyahoga Falls, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. John George Schall died on August 23, 1970, in Whittier, and is buried at Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier, Los Angeles County, California. (7)
