Famous Graves - Visiting the Gravesite of Chicago Legends Harry Caray and Al Capone

Today we are in Chicago and visiting the famous graves of Al Capone and Harry Caray.

[@karolinesmail489]

Capone also contracted syphilis that's what I believe killed off his mind too sadly😢his time was spent at Alcatraz his number was 85-AC

[@Whittdocs]

Yeah it actually was. You’re correct. I didn’t want to get too graphic, but it was a definite contributing cause. Thanks for the comment.

[@johngreen3543]

The SOB got what he deserved.

[@joshuawaltz9484]

Thanks for the video Whittdocs keep up the good work.

[@Whittdocs]

Thank you so much. Greatly appreciate that.

[@joannewinter7879]

Thank you for this post on to Chicago characters. Joanne 😘

[@Whittdocs]

You’re very welcome. Thanks so much for watching.

[@plymouthduster2252]

Great video love watching your channel. Depression era Bank Robber Lester Joseph Gillis better known as George Nelson or Baby Face Nelson who was Public enemy number 1 for a time once worked for Al Capone before he started his bank robbing he is buried in Saint Joseph's Cemetery in River Grove Illinois 15 miles outside of Chicago if you might be interested in doing a video on him.

[@Whittdocs]

Thanks for the info. I would love to make a return visit. I appreciate it.

[@Toolaholic7]

An used car dealer in my area had the bullet proof Cadillac that Al Capone had.He buys cars and memorabilia owned by celebrities.Even buys the cars used in the movies and tv shows

[@Whittdocs]

Walter Frederick wow. Such a cool comment. Thanks for that.

[@Toolaholic7]

You would have a good tour at this guy's lot.He has a Harley Davidson that Trisha Yearwood owned including an AMC Pacer owned by Conway Twitty

[@MsSusieq1960]

I really enjoyed this particular one. Between Mt Carmel and Queen of Heaven I have family in both. My mother is buried across from Sam Gianca (Gangster) I always go there when I am in town

[@Whittdocs]

I appreciate you watching. Thanks for sharing that. I would like to eventually make a return visit.

[@suelessen1982]

Harry Carey's final resting place is in All Saints Cemetery located in Des Plaines IL.

[@MsSusieq1960]

Hillside is extremely close to Chicago. A lot of people refer to it as a suburb of Chicago

[@dawnhall3886]

Another interesting video. Looking forward to see who you visit next. John Dillinger is boring at Crown Hill cemetery in Indianapolis. So is the actor who was in Song of the South! Otis was his first name. His last name escapes me at the moment.

[@Whittdocs]

Nice. I would like to visit Indianapolis to film. I’ll definitely keep this is mind. Thank you.

[@dawnhall3886]

Buried... darn auto correct!

[@michele2855]

What a neat juxtaposition of history! Harry Carey and Al Capone Great narrative sir 👍🏽

[@Whittdocs]

Thanks so much for the comment. I appreciate your support.

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

I must be having a senior moment. I thought you already visited Carey's grave. Maybe that was another KZbinr. Glad there were no lipstick kisses on Capone's grave :-)

[@Whittdocs]

I posted a pic of Caray’s grave on Instagram a while back. Maybe that caused the confusion. Lol. Thanks so much for watching, Steve.

Not to be confused with Harry Carry the actor...Please visit more gravesites of crime bosses and crime families! 😎

[@oliviat.1930]

Interesting, I'm so NAIVE to stuff like this. 😂 I'm a BREWERS FAN and in my mind BOB UECKER was the only one. Thanks to you I now know each State has their own commentator that made an impact on their team by certain phrases.. And Capone doesn't really sound to dangerous nowadays compared to what's happening now it's sad. Loved this one thanks

[@Whittdocs]

Thank you so much. I love Bob Uecker. Remember him in Mr. Belvedere?

[@oliviat.1930]

@@Whittdocs OMG we have something in common. And yes how can you not remember him in that movie, what about Major League, that was good

[@Whittdocs]

Absolutely. Bob is a national treasure. I’ve always been a big fan. He’s hilarious.

[@cynthiaamitrano8915]

I have been to Al Capone's hideout in Hayward, Wisconsin a few times. It isn't exactly as it was, but the house is the same and some out buildings where who knows what went on. Nice stone home.

[@Whittdocs]

Neat. I would like to see that sometime. Thanks for watching.

[@cynthiaamitrano8915]

@@Whittdocs well, it's actually in Couderay, WI on the Lac Courte Orielles reservation and is no longer open. It's out of the way, naturally, so I guess it didn't generate enough revenue to justify continuing operations. There was a decent Italian restaurant on premises, but hours of operation didn't coincide with hours tours were given. Foolish in my opinion. Also, prices were quite high.

[@harrybutler1828]

As always, a very interesting video. Always enjoy them. Happy New Year to you and family.

[@Whittdocs]

Happy new year to you also. Thanks so much for watching.

[@Xsilif]

The music was very appropriate for Capone. Nice job.

[@Whittdocs]

I appreciate that. I thought it was fitting also. Thanks for watching.

[@giffjim55]

One of my greatest thrills was watching the Reds play the Cubs at Wrigley and have Harry lead us in “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.” I didn’t care if the Reds won or lost.

[@Whittdocs]

I would have loved to witness that.

[@maryannanaya7126]

I'm originally from Chicago now in Arizona. My Mom is buried across the street from Capone at Queen of Heaven. The children from the 1958 Chicago fire at Queen of Heaven.

The Valentine's Day Massacre was Al Capone's downfall.Tony

[@Whittdocs]

Thanks for watching, Tony.

[@neitajames6029]

Harry remember towards end of his life, one the actors on Saturday night live used imitate him in loud voice glasses and all it was funny the way he just portrayed him with glasses said holy cow. As for Capone his life is well documented, that massacre, he was out town reason he was not charged, but did go for not paying taxes. He had best cell, was treated well, saw while in prison he'd be screaming for the guy to leave him alone. I believe he left everything in his cell when he left. Just goes show you. Guilt will catch up with you. After all those he murdered did affect his mind. He will always be remembered. I'm sure future generations of actors will probably portray him for years to come. Guess he belong in Chicago... Nice video. Respect and positivity, hope Capone can rest in peace.. Neita James.:-)

[@Whittdocs]

Thank you so much for watching. Again, I certainly appreciate all of your support. I’m thankful for viewers like you.

[@Whittdocs]

You’re not alone. You could tell that a lot of people visit there. Thanks for watching.

[@gloriavaldez1560]

You should check out Graceland cemetery in Chicago off of Clark street it has lots of famous people. Want to go back to visit in the summer. It's a beautiful place.

[@Whittdocs]

Thanks for the suggestion. I’d love to make another visit to Chicago.

[@d.l.l.6578]

There is a cemetery on Irving Park Road in Chicago that contains a lot of gangsters. That would make an interesting video.

[@Whittdocs]

I agree. I hope to return someday.

[@brendabranam4626]

Great video! Thank you!

[@luannelkins2007]

Al Capone had a hideout a couple miles from where my sister and brother-in-law live.

You forgot to add the graves of Chicago mayors Richard J. Daley and Harold Washington!

Richard Daley is in holy sepulchre same as my grandparents

[@shelleyUSATX]

My father and aunt used to sit on Capone's lap. Scary thought actually. We live in Texas.....in a tiny town and he came here a lot. Love this one.

[@Whittdocs]

Wow. What a fascinating story. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@shelleyUSATX]

@@Whittdocs It is...but scary at the same time. Hard to imagine to be quite honest.

[@carolgillis5265]

Two good vlogs

[@ghostcityshelton9378]

Capone in the last days of his life spent time sitting at his huge pool FISHING. By that time his mind was pretty much gone. He's been through the town I live in and he used to go to 2 bars here that are still in busness. When he stayed at Eastern State Prison he had a big cell, wide & long with a radio, beautiful writing desk & other furniture plus paintings on the walls. No one else had that. The guards said that almost every night they could hear him screem and yell & cry calling out for past folks he'd killed (or had someone kill them ) to leave him alone. Kennedy Sr. made a killing money wise by selling the booze and all but he never got caught or if was then he'd pay folks to look the other way. Interresting video, thank you.

[@Whittdocs]

Harry caray was to the Chicago Cubs what Dave niehaus was to the Seattle Mariners, pure magic. His sons, Skip and Chip both became broadcasters, with Skip doing the honors for the Atlanta braves, and Chip doing the honors for some other team.
