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.
Howard Brubaker
Brubaker was born in Warsaw, Indiana and attended Indiana University. In 1902 he moved to New York, where he lived at the University Settlement House for several years before becoming an associate editor for "Success" from 1907 to 1911. He went on to become an editor for "Collier's Weekly" (1914–19) and "The Liberator" (1918-24) as well as a contributor to many other magazines including "The New Yorker", "The Saturday Evening Post", "Life", "The New Republic" and "Country Gentleman". He published over 100 short stories and a number of non-fiction pieces on contemporary affairs, especially national politics, in which he tended to espouse a left-of-center viewpoint. He is best known for "Of All Things", a by-liner column that ran weekly in the New Yorker from 1925 to 1951. This column was composed of a series of brief paragraphs that offered humorous and satirical comments on contemporary happenings and personages. Many of these witticisms were reprinted in newspapers across the country. Brubaker died at his home in Greens Farms, Connecticut at the age of 74.
