Memories about Charles Edward Ensko I:
According to Eloise Ensko Higgins (1950- ): "They were having a birthday party for me in Levittown and he said he was feeling tired. He went to lay down in a bedroom and he never woke up. He dated his future wife for 10 years before they married". Charles Edward Ensko II (1921- ) said: "My father was [nine] years old when his own father died. My father studied bookkeeping and he worked for a company in Germany and in Hungary. The company, Hunyardi sold mineral water. The owner was Hungarian and the business did well. The New York office was around Houston Street. My father was there from about 1900 or 1910 and he got a gold watch for his 10 year anniversary that I still have. My dad took over the agency when his boss retired. The Hungarian guy paid him $80 per week and told him to 'always give everyone a weeks pay for Christmas'. During WWI the company had trouble and my father took a boat over to Hungary and I have the papers from the trip. He came back just before war was declared. The business was confiscated by the government as alien property. After the war hyperinflation destroyed the Mark and the business went under. Then he worked as a bookkeeper for Robert Ensko in his silver business. He retired from there around 1947 or 1948."
