Grave Tales #2: Emanuel & Ruby Snell

I am an avid genealogist. The past is very important to me. I spend a lot of time in cemeteries photographing tombstones to upload on the website FindAGrave.

I enjoy recognizing long dead people by putting memorials to them online. However, every once and a while something grabs me about a specific grave. It could be the name, or the dates or a ceramic photo. In those cases, I feel compelled to dig a little deeper. That's what this series of blogs is about: The tales behind those graves. Some of my subjects will be heroes. Some will be villains. Some will be victims. And some will linger in between, like most of us. However, don't be surprised if the tales are inherently tragic. These are grave tales. They all end in death.

The tombstone of Emanuel and Ruby Snell caught my attention on one of my first drives through Mount Auburn Cemetery. I have Snell cousins and graves with family names invariably attract my attention. Not that I suspected that we were related. My Snell cousins were German/Scottish. The inhabitants of Mount Auburn are almost entirely African-American.

But it was more than the name that struck me. It was dates. Emmanuel was born in 1883. Ruby was born in 1905. Were they husband and wife? Or perhaps father and daughter? More curiously, they both died in 1933. Was it the same day? If so, how? A car accident? A house fire? I had to know, so I looked them up in the Baltimore Afro American. I was shocked by what I saw.

Story from the Afro American, Sept 2, 1933:

HE WAS LICKED BEFORE HE STARTED

     Ruby Snell is dead. Back of her untimely and tragic demise is a story of interest to those who will but pause and consider.
     Twenty-eight-year-old Ruby was born in Georgia, the daughter of a family of sixteen children. When she was fourteen years old she listened to the proposal of marriage of Emanuel Snell, who was at that time 54, or 40 years her senior.
     The little community arched its eyebrow and in whispered conversations shook its head doubtfully. "There can't no good come from such a union." Many believed while others felt that Ruby was doing right well by herself by marrying a man of maturity who had accumulated a little something.
     The bridegroom, a widower, had a son older than his wife but that made little difference.
     The years drifted by slowly and without mishap and soon friends of the couple began to doubt their own convictions. Here at last was a May-December union working contrary to the rules. Ruby settled down to be a dutiful wife and grew smug and buxom. Her husband, growing older, kept the even tenor of his already well set habits. Fourteen years had rolled by and they were still happy together to all intents and purposes.
     But several months ago those who labored with the man began to notice that he was subject to moods. He would be overly loquacious and as suddenly he would sink into fits of melancholy.
     This should have been a warning to any close observer that there was something wrong going on in the mind of Emanuel Snell, but it was merely dismissed as the cussedness of old age; and nobody thought that he was brooding over the fact that his young wife was not growing old as fast as he was.
     Monday morning neighbors who forced their way into the Snell home, found that Ruby had been shot to death and her elderly had sent a bullet into his own brain.
     This was Emanuel Snell's last feeble attempt to overcome the handicap of time.
     Friends back home who shook their heads as the pair made their way to the altar can say, "I told you so."
     Youth and old age are enemies and they get no better opportunity to engage in mortal combat than when two individuals are foolish enough to enter into matrimony. Marriage is the one institution that is a hazardous journey when all things are equal, but when one of the parties thereto is looking back on years that have gone and other is looking forward for happiness in days yet unborn, nothing but tragedy will result.
     Rumors are rife that into Ruby Snell's life had come a younger man. Ruby cannot be blamed for this.
     Youth like water, seeks its own level. Little sympathy of the world will go to unfortunate Emanuel Snell because he was licked before he started. With Father Time slowing up his pace, the elderly man feared his young wife might out trip him.
     The new race through eternity they start off on a more even basis and regardless of what happens, that is one journey that Snell's bullets cannot end.

It is interesting how the writer for the Afro American presented the story more terms of a moral tale than a traditional news story. Perhaps because of racial attitudes of the time, the Baltimore Sun did not write any stories about the deaths of the Snells. That's a different kind of tragedy.

Remember, there is a story behind every grave. You never know what you're missing when you walk past one....

BTW, I did an award-winning documentary about Mount Auburn Cemetery. Here's the trailer:

Yippee-Ki-Yay Mother Podcast #52: The Bride of Frankenstein


Here's another COVID free ZOOM edition of the Yippee-Ki-Yay Mother Podcast, a lively discussion of the movies that sometimes devolves into a group therapy session.

Thanksgiving is all about family, and my lovely wife Deborah devoted this week's podcast to family -- the Frankenstein family -- with her choice: James Whale's 1935 classic The Bride of Frankenstein. This gothic classic is considered by many to be the greatest horror film ever made. Find out if the Mother Podcasters agree.

This week we bring on special guest Trish Schweers. She's an old friend of Debbie and mine, an editor of my books, and woman who has worked on four continents in the film business.

Trish on the set of the 1997 film Paradise Road.


Here's the trailer:

The Great Scott Hidden Secrets Reunion

Yours Truly, Scott Galbraith, Carey Scott
Gregg Binkley, Tracy Melchior,  Billy DaMota

I had appeared on a number of Scott Galbraith's ZOOM roundtables, but this one was special: A Hidden Secrets mini-reunion.

Hidden Secrets was my first produced faith-based film and I was absolutely delighted to participate in this reunion. This film was also the first one produced by PureFlix. In fact, Tim Ratajczak and myself were commissioned to write the script before PureFlix itself even came into existence. My experience making this film was entirely positive and I was happy to reunite with director Carey Scott, casting director Billy DaMota, actor Gregg Binkley, who played the henpecked husband Harold, and actress Tracy Melchior, who played our leading lady Sherry. A pleasant time was had by all!

I hope he does reunions of other films!

Here's the trailer of the film.

 

Here's the roundtable.

 

You can subscribe to Scott's YouTube Channel here: 78GreatScott

Here's my blogs about the making of the film:

I drew heavily from my own life for the script to Hidden Secrets. Be sure to check out my memoir The Promise, or the Pros and Cons of Talking with God, published by TouchPoint Press. It is my true story of first faith and first love and how the two became almost fatally intertwined.



Here are some sample chapters of The Promise:
Chapter 7 - Mission Accomplished
Chapter 15 - Quarter To Midnight

Also be sure to check out my novel Chapel Street. It tells the story of a young man straddling the line between sanity and madness while battling a demonic entity that has driven his family members to suicide for generations. It was inspired by an actual haunting my family experienced.

You can buy the Kindle and paperback at Amazon and the Nook, paperback and hardcover at Barnes & Noble.

Grave Tales #1: Leopold W. Gilden


I am an avid genealogist. The past is very important to me. I spend a lot of time in cemeteries photographing tombstones to upload on the website FindAGrave.

I enjoy recognizing long dead people by putting memorials to them online. However, every once and a while something grabs me about a specific grave. It could be the name, or the dates or a ceramic photo. In those cases, I feel compelled to dig a little deeper. That's what this series of blogs is about: The tales behind those graves. Some of my subjects will be heroes. Some will be villains. Some will be victims. And some will linger in between, like most of us. However, don't be surprised if the tales are inherently tragic. These are grave tales. They all end in death.

Today I want to tell the story of Leapold W. "Simon" Gilden, whose grave I found in the Knesseth Israel Anshe Kolk Wolyn Cemetery. I love this cemetery. It is filled with wonderful monuments adorned with lots of ceramic grave photographs. Leapold's photograph drew me in. With his top hat and tuxedo, he appeared to be a jaunty Jazz Age figure. The photo was intriguing, but the dates hooked me. He died on December 22, 1925 at the age of 21. I had to know why. I looked him up on newspapers.com and was surprised by what I learned. He was married with two children, but he was also a reputed to be a gangster. And he was murdered execution style in New York City.

The Baltimore Sun, 23 December 1925:

GILDEN MENTIONED IN SHOOTING IN N.Y.
-----
Tags Issued to His Wife Found In Bullet-Ridden Auto Near Slain Man.
-----
SAID TO HAVE LEFT CITY
-----
Baltimorean Recently Went To Metropolis, Detectives Declare.

     Pierced by five bullets, the body of a man was found lying in Washington street in New York yesterday. Some distance away was a bullet-ridden automobile, under the seat of which were two Maryland license tags issued to Mrs. Ida Gilden, wife of Simon Gilden, 4883 Reisterstown road.

     The New York license tags attached to the motor car were issued in the name of Mrs. Ida Gilden, 69 Mott street, the New York authorities notified the Baltimore police. Tenants of the Mott street address said they had never heard of Mrs. Gilden.

     Said to Have Gone To N.Y.

     Simon Gilden, arrested with four others a few months ago, charged with holding up and robbing an employee of a South Broadway bank, but subsequently tried and acquitted, went to New York several days ago, intending to stay until January, his friends in Baltimore told the police last night.

     Detective-Lieutenant James A. Manning, who is in New York in connection with another investigation, was ordered last night to drop on which he had been seen to New York and to devote himself to identifying the dead man and assisting the New York police in trying to solve the slaying.

     Search Is Made In The City.

     At the same time Detective-Lieutenant Cornelius I. Roche and Detective-Sergeant Feehley were ordered to make a search for Gilden in Baltimore. It was in the course of this search that they learned that Gilden had gone to New York with the intention of remaining until next month.

     Only a few weeks ago Gilden was arrested as a result of a brawl at Front and Baltimore streets in which a man was shot in the arm. When he and the others arrested were arraigned in Eastern Police Court so many underworld characters flocked to the courtroom that it was ordered cleared.

     After several witnesses had testified, including the man who was wounded, that they did not know who had done the shooting, Magistrate Joseph J. Retaliata asserted that "the witnesses apparently settled the matter outside the court" and postponed the hearing. When the case again was heard Gilden and the others were dismissed for lack of evidence.

     Auto and Tags Only Clues.

     The bullet-riddled automobile and the license tags are the only clues the police have in the search for the slayer or slayers in their efforts to identify the dead man.

     A description of the dead man, together with his finger prints, are expected at Police Headquarters today.

Another story from The Baltimore Sun, 24 December 1925:

POLICE HERE RENEW WHITTEMORE 
----
Fugitive's Recent Whereabouts Believed To Have Been Disclosed
-----
GILDEN BODY IDENTIFIED
-----
Information Fails To Connect Escaped Convict
With Tuesday's Killing, It Is Said
------

     The investigation of the killing Tuesday in New York city of Simon L. Gilden disclosed information yesterday which caused the police again to broadcast circulars with photographs and a description of Richard Reese Whittemore. The information, however, had no direction bearing of Gilden's slaying, the police declared.

     Whittemore escaped from the Maryland Penitentiary February 20. He felled a guard in the hospital with an iron pipe and, holding a Negro orderly at bay with the guard's pistol, opened a door of the institution and fled.

     The guard, Robert H. Holtman, died the next day. The fugitive is 24 years old and was serving a 15-year term for burglary. Since the day of his escape the police never have had definite information concerning his whereabouts.

     Body Is Identified.

     Gilden was found dead early Tuesday on a sidewalk in Lower New York. In the same neighborhood an automobile identified as the property of his wife, Mrs. Ida Gilden, was found.

     The body was identified yesterday by finger prints sent to New York Tuesday night by Charles H. Burns, captain of detectives. The body will be sent here for burial, the police said last night.

     Gilden, Charles Gross, Edward (Spick) Kenny and Milton Goldberg, alias "Shuffles," were accused last spring of the hold-up and robbery March 16 of Jacob Wahl Holtzman, a collector for the American Bank. They were indicted soon after the robbery.

     Gilden Acquitted.

     Gilden was acquitted. Since that time he is said to have been implicated in two pistol fights over alleged liquor transactions.

     Gross and Kenny were arrested and later released. The charge of robbery in connection with the affair still is pending against them in the Criminal Court. Goldberg has not been arrested.

     Both Kenny and Gross, a former policeman, have been shot and wounded seriously since the Holtzman robbery.

     Goldberg, who is sought in connection with the robbery, is declared by police to have been on friendly terms with Whittemore. It has been the belief of police at various times that the two might be together.

     Information Obtained.

     In conducting an investigation here of the New York murder yesterday the police were given information concerning Whittlemore's recent whereabouts.

     Detective-Lieutenants Cornelius Roche and Anthony Pass are aiding Captain Burns in the investigation. Detective-Lieutenant James A. Manning and Detective-Sergeant William Feehley are in New York assisting the New York authorities.

     Gilden, who was 21 years old, is survived by his widow and two children. He lived in the 4800 block Reisterstown road.

Another story from The Baltimore Sun, 26 December 1925:

Police Declare Gilden Murder Was Deliberate
-----
Baltimorean Shot From Behind.
Funeral Services Held here.

     Simon L. Gilden was murdered deliberately in New York city Tuesday and not, as at first believed, in a pistol battle, according to the police. The four bullets shot into his body were fired from behind him and entered his neck and head, it became known here yesterday.

     The body was brought to the city Christmas Eve and buried at noon in Kohler Congregational Cemetery, near Graceland Park. Services were held at the home of Max Gilden, 835 Whitelock street, the slain man's father.

     It is the hope and and belief of the police that the investigation of the murder will lead to the apprehension of Richard Reese Whittemore, a fugitive from the Maryland Penitentiary, who is wanted for murder, and of Milton (Shuffles) Goldberg, wanted on an indictment charging him with assault and robbery.

     After making an investigation of the murder in New York, Detective-Lieutenant James A. Manning and Detective-Sergeant William Feehley returned to the city late Thursday. New York detectives are expected to visit the city within a few days.

Richard Resse Whittemore

Richard Reese Whittemore was captured in New York state where he operated a robbery ring with Goldberg and others that netted the criminals over a reputed $1,000,000.  He was extradited to Maryland to stand trial for murder of the prison guard Robert H. Holtman. He was found guilty and sentenced to death.

Although evidence linked Whittemore to Gilden hours prior to his death, the murder of Leapold Gilden remained officially unsolved. In 1927, his widow Ida Gilden made headlines trying to collect on his life insurance policy. The insurance company tried to deny the claim.

Remember, there is a story behind every grave. You never know what you're missing when you walk past one....

Yippee-Ki-Yay Mother Podcast #51: Phantasm


Here's another COVID free ZOOM edition of the Yippee-Ki-Yay Mother Podcast, a lively discussion of the movies that sometimes devolves into a group therapy session.

The Halloween season inspired me to bring one of my guilty pleasures to the table: Don Coscarelli's 1979 cult horror classic Phantasm. Since I expected to take a serious beating from my fellow Mother Podcasters for my offbeat choice, I invited my old friend Paul Castiglia to defend me and the film. Paul is a producer, a comic book and animation writer and the author of the upcoming book Sacred Silly, a definitive look into the horror comedies of Hollywood's classic period.

Paul Catiglia

Fortunately, founding member Uncle Al came back online for this episode to give me an assist on this film.

It was a lively discussion indeed.

Here's the trailer:

Here's another COVID free ZOOM edition of the Yippee-Ki-Yay Mother Podcast, a lively discussion of the movies that sometimes devolves into a group therapy session.

This week the happy Quatrucci (John) wanted to spread a little joy. Therefore, he brought the 1999 sci-fi comedy Galaxy Quest to the table. Try not to like it. I dare you. Even David Mamet called it one of the five perfect films.
