Born in Chicago and raised on the North Side, our last address was 2127 North Magnolia - back in the seventies. My sisters and I walked right by the alley of the St. Valentines Day Massacre on our way to St. Theresa's. There was a paper factory and they'd pile free paper for us kids to take.

The murder of Dion O'Banion was actually even more dramatic. O'Banion in the role of florist rather than gangleader extended his hand to the visitors in greeting them. As he is a deadly shot with either hand, the assassins held both wrists tightly while the third man shot O'Banion.

I attended church in Ypsilant, Michigan (2016) with a lady whose dad was in the Purple gang. I had never heard of them.

Never happened again.

[@ahnraemenkhera7451]

A nice job, if incomplete in some searches. I’d only ever read of “Hymie’s” first-name as having been “Earl,” not Henry or Heinrich, so very good work on unearthing that detail! He also had a wife & or a fiancée who was expecting to be married to him at the time of the ambush, I forget which. He & Frank Yale either were surprisingly popular in their communities, or so locally-famous at their deaths that “big funeral” was an incredible understatement in tribute. Some things about gangsters just don’t really change. The younger they go, the larger their legends hundreds of years later, generally.
