Solomon Sickle, 11 yr. old gum vendor, 321 Seventh St., Washington, D.C., Says he sells until 8 P.M. Very illiterate, been in this country only six months. Location: Washington (D.C.), District of Columbia, 1912.

I found Solomon's obituary in the Washington Post archives. He died in 1957. He was survived by two daughters, and it took me just three days to find one of the daughters. She has no photos of her father as a boy, so she was very pleased. I will be interviewing her soon.
