(Margarita Ayushiyev)
Margarita Ayushiyev was born on the night of December 15, 1896, in a New York City tenement.
Her family was extremely poor and her mother was a beggar on the busy streets. While her father
gambled to make money, he spent more than he gained.
Her older brother died at the age of 17 due to a cough known as tuberculosis; that was spreading like wild
fire. This affected her strongly because she and her brother had a great relationship.
Until she turned 14, she stayed around the tenement home to help take care of her younger siblings, while
helping out with regular chores like sweeping, cooking, and making the bed. Then, she became a beggar
herself. Sometimes she would even take her younger siblings into the streets to help her beg for money; it
aided them in gaining sympathy money.
A rule that was known to the world of beggars was the toughs rule. The ruled described that the beggar
believed the world owed him a living, but his scheme of collecting stopped short of violence.
It basically explained that although beggars would pick up any form of act to fool people into giving them
money, the begging never resulted in violence.
However, she didnt keep this unrewarding job the rest of her life. When she turned 22 she was finally
pulled out of the streets by a young man who offered her a job in a garment factory; they married two
years later. Margarita earned a significantly higher amount of pay in her factory job than she earned
through begging; a whole 75 cents.
Her husband was the owner of the factory in which she worked, and became a fairly rich man. This was
the best kind of news for Margarita because shed known nothing but poverty her whole life.
Three years later they had 4 children. Three boys and one girl and lived a wonderful life.
Sadly though, at the age of 46 Margarita Ayushiyev died of the same cough her brother caught.
Tuberculosis.
