Find out what makes this unmarked grave in Union Cemetery so special.
The man buried in this unmarked grave plot wasn’t famous and he didn’t do anything remarkable in his lifetime; but the moment they started throwing the dirt on his coffin, something happened that made his funeral front-page news in the Steubenville Herald-Star. Find out what happened in my book, Mobsters, Madams and Murder in Steubenville, Ohio. (The Story of Little Chicago). Published by The History Press.
IN 1922, JEFFERSON COUNTY, OHIO LED THE NATION IN PROHIBITION OFFICER MURDERS: MOST OF THEM STILL UNSOLVED
Gambling, prostitution and bootlegging have been going on in Steubenville for well over one hundred years. Its Water Street red-light district drew men from hundreds of miles away, as well as underage runaways. The white slave trade was rampant, and along with all the vice crimes, murders became a weekly occurrence. Law enforcement seemed to turn a blind eye, and cries of political corruption were heard in the state capital. This scenario replayed itself over and over again during the past century as mobsters and madams ruled and murders plagued the city and county at an alarming rate. Newspapers nationwide would come to nickname this mecca of murder “Little Chicago.”
