Description

Murder and mystery haunt the shadowy corners of the Victorian Era in Southwest Michigan. Decades after his supposed death in 1846, a litigious bachelor was discovered to have been buried alive. In 1865, a Battle Creek woman, yearning for her lover, used Spiritualism to conceal poisoning her three children. An 1883 unsolved quadruple homicide near Jackson caused two suicides, one attempted suicide and two assassination attempts. In 1891, a ten-year-old girl adopted from the State School in Coldwater one morning was found dead in an icy river two counties away that same afternoon. Researcher and author Michael Delaware unfurls these and other stories that shocked Michigan and the nation over a century ago.
