Just the wildest of guesses...bits and pieces of the Garrett farmhouse?


RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 02-23-2018 09:12 AM

That is an excellent and logical guess, Joe, but that is not where they are looking for something.

Someone's grave? Those are dowsing rods that are barely visible.

Good eyes, Laurie. You are on the right track. Whose grave?


RE: Assassination Trivia - L Verge - 02-23-2018 10:39 AM

I have seen this photo before, but I'll be darned if I can remember who, what, where!!

Wild Cat Den in southern Iowa.

Trying to find the grave of Michael O'Laughlen.

Excellent, Blaine. Laurie, we have discussed this before but not for several years.

Here's the story:

It's just got to be true.

I found this in the Neff-Guttridge Collection at the Indiana State University Library

Diary of John Henry Stevenson alias of Michael Laughlin

OMG - No wonder I could not remember it; it's one of those things that I try to push out of my memory.

Who is this lady?

RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 02-25-2018 04:43 AM

Hint #1: She is very closely related to a person who has often been discussed on this forum.


RE: Assassination Trivia - Thomas Kearney - 02-25-2018 12:02 PM

Is it Weichman's sister?


RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 02-25-2018 12:58 PM

Somehow one always thinks one has seen the person before.
Atzerodt?
She looks like a daughter (or sister).
Mrs. Quesenberry's daughter?


RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 02-25-2018 01:05 PM

Thomas and Eva, all are thoughtful guesses, but unfortunately none is correct.
