Link: Carrie Gladys Weiss died in mid January 1959

Tom Interval of Houdini Museum has solved the mystery of when Houdini's sister, Carrie Gladys Weiss, passed away. Looks like Bernard Meyer had it right in Houdini A Mind in Chains; Gladys died in January 1959. She was cremated and buried in Machpelah Cemetery, although her headstone, which was damaged by vandals, is not currently there.

For all the details click the headline and have a read at Houdini Museum.

    I’ve only seen two pictures of Gladys. This one and the one with Harry standing with Bess and her sister as well. Are there any other known photos of Gladys?

      You can spot Gladys in a few group photos. There's also a shot of her older.
