Youngstown Man Relates A Romantic Tale Before Death
A Youngstown man named Fred Goldsmith died Saturday night after being struck by a streetcar. He reportedly told a life story filled with romantic oddities, describing a past as a sandyman, printer, decorator, merchant, and musician who lost wealth and family. He claimed British Army service, a duel, sewers escape, stowaway voyage to America, Civil War enlistment in Baltimore, desertion between Confederate and Federal causes, and a later Akron life with a legendary Masonic charm tied to Queen Victoria, now kept in a local bank vault.
