Geocache Description:


The cache IS NOT at the posted coordinates.  If you look for it at the listed coordinates you better have a boat but you will not find it there

I love almost everything about Germany and am proud of my German roots so I figured I would recreate a series of caches I did in Germany here in NE Ohio. I hope you enjoy them as much as the Germans did.

Each of the people in this series were Made (born) in Germany. Later in life they immigrated to the USA and became citizens of America. Many of them had a great influence on the USA and the rest of the world. I hope that each person who completes this series learns a little bit more about how our two countries, German and The United States of America, are forever connected. So here we go! See if you can figure out who this person is or was.

These caches will be hidden throughout Lake, Geauga, Ashtabula, and Cuyahoga counties.

To solve the mystery you need to determine the person and there year of birth and death.


HINT:
 

I am a man.
I was born in what is now Hessen.
I committed suicide.

Too Difficult?  Maybe this will help:
 
What I am famous for is not good but I am considered the best at it.
John Dillinger imitated my methods to become rich.
I was in the Prussian Army but got kicked out for cheating at cards.

Do you know who I am now? No?
 
I was in prison in Utah for a short time.
One of my alias' is Thomas Bell and another is Robert Masden
One of the men who worked for me shot himself and died at the same time I shot and killed myself.
Two other men that worked for me were sentenced to life in prison.
I died in Illinois after a botched robbery in Clinton Indiana.

You can find the final at:

N 41 (47165 - year of birth)
W 81 (12295 + year of death)
