* Roza sang at weddings and parties, often accompanied by her son Dezsö on the violin.[1].
** Roza's mother was very kosher and orthodox. After the death of her father, she lived with her (other) son, but she couldn't get along with her daughter-in-law. Jakab told Roza to get her mother and bring her to live with them. She was 82 when she died.[1]
Note: First cousin of Gustav Mahler. Boske describes her mother as a good looking, musical woman with a sense of humor.[1]

[15] Geza Simon's Genealogical Diary: "In May 15, 1894 in Nagyvárad, he [Jakab Simon" married Róza Mahler, daughter of a local tradesman József Mahler."
[16] Note: My current Family Tree database lists the marriage date as June 17, 1894.  I'm not sure of the source of this date.  I think Geza's diary's date of May 15, 1894 is more reliable (since that was the source of the SIMON family tree).
