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.
Abraham Jacob Hollandersky
After returning to New London from his travels around October 1908, Abe decided to meet a portion of the fleet on their return to America. He may have broken his record for newspaper sales when he and a group of newsies contracted to him sold thousands of papers to the returning sailors, off Hampton Roads, near Norfolk, Virginia. The Hampton Roads ceremony for the returning fleet included a speech by President Theodore Roosevelt aboard the USS "Connecticut", flagship of the cruise, during the third week of February, 1909. Hollandersky personally sold a paper to both the President and Admiral Evans on their return from the cruise.
