Tekolya's favorite picture book is "The Little Red Hen", and she says, "The Little Red Hen had a task to do and she wasn't afraid to ask for help. No one was willing to help her, so when the task was done, she explained to them why they could not enjoy the outcome of her hard work. You get results and rewarded when you put in work; it's a good life lesson!"⁠

#FlashbackFriday - A mystery in the Bensenville Hi

#FlashbackFriday - A mystery in the Bensenville Historical Collection!⁠
⁠
📷️ These photos are a collection of family pictures of Meyer Gordon, his wife Rose Lipman, and their two children Kenneth and Paulette, circa 1880s, and the 1900s through the 1940s. ⁠
⁠
This collection was discovered in a Bensenville home in 2021, tucked away on top of a heating duct wrapped in newspapers. After researching the small clues from writing on the pictures, it was discovered that both Meyer and his son Kenneth were notorious fencing criminals in Chicago, wanted by the Feds on numerous occasions. Meyer died in a Missouri prison hospital in 1954 and his son Kenneth in 1963. ⁠
⁠
How did these personal photographs of the young Meyer Gordon family end up in a Bensenville home on Center Street?⁠
⁠
