flowercat0523,
I did not know that. I often wondered what became of him. I used to watch The Little Rascals and the Our Gang comedies all the time. Poor fella. Sad to know.

JumpingDonut79495, he was actually a distant cousin of my grandmothers. He unfortunately got into the gambling bootlegging business which was the actual debt he was collecting when he was shot🤦🏻♀️
