Ah, obscurity!
ReplyDeleteYale Boss struck me as an unusual name, so I looked him up. At age 17, he was a bookkeeper for the Knickerbocker Ice Co. in Manhattan and then for a pencil company. He tried for a comeback in 1923. By 30, he was living in Augusta, Georgia where he was a machinist at a power plant. That's where he died in 1977. He had an older sister who was a dancer.
