Sam Warner
The Warner Brothers - Harry, Albert, Sam, and Jack - were members of a Jewish immigrant family from Poland that settled in Youngstown in the mid-1890s. On May 14, 1931, the family gathered in Youngstown to dedicate a luxurious new Warner Theater to the people of the city where it all started, and to memorialize Sam, who died in 1927.

Margaret was quite shaken by the murder of her lover and desperately wanted to attend the burial in Oak Hill Cemetery. She visited the dug grave to place a large amount of flowers there and then waited on the Mahoning River Bridge for the funeral procession, crying quite passionately as they passed by.
