Manhattan, New York County (Manhattan), New York, USA.
Casper Holstein was a prominent New York philanthropist and mobster involved in the Harlem "numbers rackets" during Prohibition. With this wealth he lived lavishly, owning two Harlem apartment buildings, a Long Island home, a fleet of expensive cars and several thousand acres of Virginia farmland. You are only allowed to leave one flower per day for any given memorial. Holstein established a Harlem tradition of using some of his illicit earnings to support worthy causes and thus win “goodwill” within the African American community. When he got out of prison, World War II was beginning. Holstein eventually developed his own lottery called Bolito and by 1920, he became known in the New York underworld as the “Bolito King.” By the mid-1920s Holstein reputedly earned more than $2 million from his lotteries.

A system error has occurred.
It turns out that he hasn’t always been Casper the friendly ghost. And having childlike features, such as build and vocalizations certainly point to the fact that he has to be a child who has died.
Holstein passed away from a long illness before the war ended. Casper Holstein died in Harlem on April 5, 1944. The email does not appear to be a valid email address. Plese check the I'm not a robot checkbox.'. Also an additional 2 volunteers within fifty miles. GREAT NEWS!
Select a place on the map to place the pin. Year should not be greater than current year.
Please note: You are asking volunteers to find and take a photo of the headstone.

The product of a biracial union, Holstein was born in St. Croix, West Indies. GREAT NEWS! The cause of his untimely death was pneumonia after spending all day sledding. About.
Thanks for your help!
