Find This Man For Me
Buried in this article about NYC's SoHo District is this mystery:
If you want to experience the quality of the old SoHo these days, you have to venture south of Canal into TriBeCa, where blocks like White Street from Church Street to Broadway have that long-ago quiet ...
... Peaceful as it is now, when operating at full tilt White Street was an unforgiving machine.
In 1904, The Times reported on a Children’s Court hearing involving Louis Deimstein, who was 14 and worked for an unidentified firm in the Wood’s Mercantile Buildings.
He did not know where his parents were and wanted only to be left alone so he could look after his 11-year-old brother, with whom he lived at the Newsboys’ Lodging House, a well-known charitable enterprise. “I earn $4 a week, and that is enough to keep my brother and myself,” he told the court.
Nevertheless, a guardian was assigned to look after the boys “until their parents can be found and compelled to support them,” The Times reported.
Who was he? What happened to him (and his brother)? Did they find his parents?
Google turns up nothing.
Amateur sleuths, get cracking.
