Abraham Jacob Hollandersky
He died in San Diego in early November 1966, and was buried in Greenwood Memorial Park, as was his wife Freda in 1988. He had had no children. At his request, his tombstone was headed with his ring name, Abe the Newsboy, the name used almost exclusively by the newspapers that covered his boxing and wrestling career.
John Hartford
From the 1980s onwards, Hartford had Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. He died of the disease at Centennial Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee on June 4, 2001 at age 63. He and Brandon Ray Kirk co-authored a biography of blind fiddler Ed Haley. Hartford's album "The Speed of the Old Longbow" is a collection of Haley's tunes. Hartford also provided narration for the Ken Burns' documentary series "Baseball" and "The Civil War".
