Sub-clan BW — matriarchal anchor: Pauline Küchler née Porges
(d. Zebuš Sunday 29 November 1896 at 2 a.m., of cardiac arrest after several
days of bedridden illness, "in the twelfth month of her happy marriage").
Funeral Tuesday 1 December 1896 at 1 p.m. from the house of mourning to the
Israelite Cemetery at Rabaun. (Day-of-week check: 29 November 1896 = Sunday ✓;
1 December 1896 = Tuesday ✓.)
Pauline's death in the twelfth month of her happy marriage with a
"little son" (Söhnchen Ernst) makes this one of the most poignant obituaries
of the corpus — a young Porges-born woman dead in early motherhood,
likely of complications from a recent childbirth, with her infant son surviving.
Family — full Porges sibship roster
Husband: David Küchler (alive 1896).
Parents-in-law: Moses Küchler, Marie Küchler (alive 1896).
Little son: Ernst Küchler — infant, born ca. early 1896,
losing his mother before age 1.
Mother (Pauline's, Porges family): Rosa Porges (alive 1896,
surviving her daughter — generational inversion).
Pauline's siblings (Porges sibship):
• Heinrich Porges
• Josef Porges
• Marie Holzer née Porges — married a Holzer
• Eduard Porges
• Regine Fürth née Porges — married a Fürth
• Gustav Porges
• Julie Porges
This is a seven-sibling Porges sibship — Pauline plus 7 named
siblings — making it one of the largest documented Porges sibships of the
1860s-1880s cohort. Mother Rosa Porges is the parental anchor; the father
(presumably also Porges) had predeceased.
Cross-corpus implications
Several names recur with other documented Porges branches: Heinrich Porges,
Eduard Porges, Gustav Porges — and the in-law surnames Holzer
and Fürth. Cross-corpus integration possibilities:
- Regine Fürth née Porges + Sub-clan B's Auguste Fürth née Porges
(daughter of Amalia Bondy 1912) — possible cousin-Fürth in-law network
- Heinrich Porges, Eduard Porges — multiple namesakes documented elsewhere; cross-reference required
Holocaust trajectory
Pauline's infant son Ernst Küchler (b. ca. early 1896) would have been
~42 years old in 1938 — peak deportation age. Search holocaust.cz for Ernst
Küchler / Kichler Bohemian-resident transports. Her seven Porges siblings'
descendants (b. ca. 1885-1910) form a substantial extended-family deportation
search target.
