The American Son: Edward Sencer
Edward Sencer was born in New York City on March 23, 1894, a first-generation American. His life reflects a journey of occupational mobility. He began his career as a machinist in 1915, a common trade in the industrial city. By 1920, at age 25, he had become a manufacturer of ladies’ hats, a key industry in New York’s garment district. This was also the year he married Bertha Fleschler on March 20, 1920, in Manhattan. Bertha, born in Manhattan on September 22, 1901, was the daughter of Philip Fleschler and Lena Hirschorn.
As the economic climate shifted, so did Edward’s career. During the Great Depression, he worked as a buyer for an auctioneer in 1930 and as a general buyer in 1933. By 1940, he had found stability in the ladies’ wear apparel business, while Bertha worked as a sales clerk in a bakery. Edward’s formal education concluded after the 8th grade, which was not unusual for his time, while Bertha completed two years of high school.
Edward Sencer lived a long life, eventually moving to Florida, a popular retirement destination for New Yorkers of his generation. He passed away in Miami-Dade County on September 12, 1977, at the age of 83. Bertha lived until November 20, 1990, dying in Queens, New York, at the age of 89.
