Al Capone: Florida
built 219 days ago
Al Capone was buried in Mt. Olivet (sec. 52, near 115th street) after his death in Florida in January, 1947. Al, his father Gabriel and brother Frank shared a polished black granite slab. When his mother died in 1952, Al's body was moved to her lot in Mount Carmel, as the Mt. Olivet site had become too much of a tourist attraction. The Capone monument has been vandalized, the two porcelain portraits. It had ... been knocked over in 1996 and lay flat on the ground for several months, only recently being re-erected.

Capone was now a broken man. Physically weak and with a deteriorating mind, he retired to his Florida retreat where he largely withdrew from the outside world and from events in Chicago. He no longer controlled any mafia interests. On January 21, 1947, Capone suffered a stroke. He began to recover but died three days later from pneumonia. He was buried at Mount Olivet Cemetery then moved to Mount Carmel Cemetery in Chicago's West Side, next to the graves of his father and brother.

In 1939 Al Capone was released to hospital, after seven and a half years, as a result of an infection of syphilis. His poor health forced him to live as a virtual recluse in Florida, with his family, where he died on 25th January, 1947.

Miami Beach... knew that Capone was no secondhand furniture dealer, and the city shuddered upon his arrival. Northern backlash against Florida had slowed the land boom, and a hurricane in 1926 devastated the local economy. Residents feared that Capone's presence would convince the country that "Miami Beach was no longer the good clean fun it had been in 1920."
