She was a member of Govans Presbyterian Church, in Baltimore, MD, sometime in the 1970’s until her death, where my mother, Elva Markel, and she became friends. Through this relationship, I learned many things that she told me about herself, as we drove her to and from church. She was married to a chemist and came to America right after WWI. She lived in the countryside of (Eger) Hungary, being a member of the aristocracy. She told me that she met the Prince of Wales, while he was hunting on the family’s grounds, as a young girl. She had a cameo that was made in her likeness by an artist, which she gave to me, after I admired it. She was a very sweet, gentlewoman but she told me of her acumen as a businesswoman in NYC during the 1920’s. She had an “art shop” with many fine laces and cloths, etc. In 1930, her occupation was interior designer. It was successful enough, along with the income from her husband’s job, to enable her to bring many Hungarian refugees over to America, right as the Cold War was affecting the movement of fellow Hungarians to the free world. I actually read a newspaper article supporting this information about her work bringing Hungarians to America. She never revealed this to me herself. She was a humble Christian woman. She had one son and I believe that he was a college professor in the Midwest. She was sad that she didn’t see him. Her reason was that his wife did not like her, which kept them apart. She was born on January 3, 1889, in Eger, Hungary (the Rome of the Austrian-Hungarian empire.) (These facts were discovered on Ancestry.com, using her passport application of 1924.) She was looking so forward to living to be 100 years old, so that she could receive an acknowledgment from the President of the United States. She was proud of her American citizenship! She was a great woman! I’m sorry that her life ended more or less dependent on the state of MD. Her possessions were sold to help pay for her upkeep, after she became immobile. She walked using a walker, when we knew her. She wanted me and my mother to have some of her things because she learned to love my mother, but we refused, even as she offered to gift them as a wedding gift to me, in 1980. I did accept the cameo and some fabric with silver threads running through it, that she had saved on a paper roll. That was so generous of her, even as she had once lived so well, as a child and then as a wife. To live to be 95, her finances for self-support were declining, unbeknownst to us. She had lost mobility capabilities. She went into a nursing home that the church found for her. We lost touch with her, as the busy-ness of life will do, but her time in the nursing home was not long. She had an awesome inspirational life of sacrifice from nationalism, her love of her native country, Hungary, the love for her new country of 60+ years, and her love and appreciation for all that God had given her. As He took her position in Hungarian aristocracy away, He enabled her to take the hard work of her and her husband, as successful immigrants, to help her fellow Hungarians. Her legacy should be an inspiration to us all, to use what we are given to be a blessing to others. I am a member of Ancestry.com. Since referring to a recent search, in 1940, I have found her husband to be Ernest Henry Bayor, born in 1890, and her son, named Eaton E., born November 28, 1920 (according to ship passenger list and passport application.) They married on August 28, 1918, according to the passport application. They were living in Manhattan in 1940. She applied for a U.S. passport in 1924. She was arranging to travel to several European countries, with the main reason to visit relatives with her 3-year-old son. At this time, her shop was on Broadway in NYC. I stand corrected by reading here that she came to the U.S. in 1914, as did her husband-to-be. Ernest Henry Bayor, a chemical engineer. They married on August 28, 1918, according to this passport application. Her maiden name has yet to be determined. In 1930, the family had Ernest’s 2 sisters, Edith, born 1895 in Hungary, a housekeeper, and Mary, born in 1902 in Hungary, a stenographer for a law office in NYC. They both came to America in 1920. All of the adults in that household spoke “Magyar”. Ernest Henry Bayor, born August 18, 1889 in Hungary, died on January 11, 1947 in Manhattan, New York, NY
