This was a good article Chicubs.
https://sangamoncountyhistory.org/wp/?p=6456A bit of trivia for you. Several years back we (ButtonGuys of TNYM) were contacted by the Sangamon County Library because of an expose I had written about the life and times of Frank Zito and the Springfield Mafia Family he headed.
They had seen it, loved it, and wanted to know if we'd please consider providing them a designed hard copy of the article so they could offer it on display in the library's historical section about the City.
We were flattered, of course, and ended up sending them a copy for the records.
