Sam R. Costello's untimely death took place on February 10th, 1938 at the behest of Jim Emery and due to a dispute over territory. Al Capone's wish for a lasting "friendship" between the two, as seen in the 1931 baptism photo, was short-lived. This collection of cherished artifacts traces its origins through several generations of the Battaglia and Costello families, hailing from Termini Imerese and Caccamo in Sicily, Italy. The families immigrated from these neighboring towns to the Chicago / Chicago Heights area at the turn of the Century.
