Notes

MT names Eva's husband as Arnold Prager and identifies their children as Flora (who married Hermann Katz from Kassel) and Paula (born in Kassel). Kaethe Danziger (geb. Halberstaedter) names Eva's husband only as Prager but identifies him as the Landesrabbiner of Kassel. The Landesrabbiner of Kassel from 1885 to his death in 1905 was Isaac Prager, succeding Dr. Lazarus Levi Adler (born 1810, in post 1852 to 1884). From 1881 (4 years before taking up the post) to his death Isaac Prager was married to Julie Seegal.



The death of an Eva Prager geb. Apt on 02/09/1868, aged 23 years and married to Arnold Prager, is recorded in Gleiwitz Jewish records; the record describes Arnold as a businessman. Gleiwitz Jewish cemetery records agree that she died on 02/09/1868 but say that she was born on 26/06/1843, so died aged 25 years; she was buried in Gleiwitz old Jewish cemetery (Field 4, Grave No. 989).

It is intriguing that both MT and Kaethe Danziger (geb. Halberstaedter) associate Eva's husband or his children with Kassel, however I have not found any source to confirm either that Eva was married to the future Landesrabbiner of Kassel, Isaac Prager, or that the latter also had the vernacular name of Arnold. Isaac was probably aged 34 years when he married Julie, and Eva died young in 1868, so it is feasible that he was previously married to Eva.
