Fredericka (aka Friderica) Mandelbaum came to America with her husband Wolfe in 1848, landing in New York and opening a general store.

In the beginning, Mandelbaum and her husband worked as flamboyant street peddlers, building relationships with both the hordes of aimless children and the petty thieves looking to get rid of their stolen loot.

By 1865, Mandelbaum had opened a shop on Clinton Street.

Mandelbaum died in 1894, while still living in criminal exile. Her body was returned to New York to be buried.

Per SAC:
In December of 1884, when Pinkerton detectives were in her home waiting to arrest her, she and her son Julius escaped and relocated to Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, where she lived out her remaining years. Canada would not extradite her to New York.

At her funeral and burial, many mourners had their pockets picked.
