Mystery, Mayhem and Murder with Angie Hoschouer
The Darke County Genealogical Society would like to invite members and
the public to the rescheduled presentation, “History, Mystery, Mayhem
and Murder”, on Sunday, June 7, at 2:00 p.m., in the Lowell Thomas
Conference room at Garst Museum.
Angie Hoschouer, Manager of Development & Marketing of Woodland
Cemetery and Arboretum in Dayton, OH, will keep you on the edge of your
seat with chilling tales of Dayton’s own bank robbers, counterfeiters
and murderers as well as toss in a few surprises of local origin.
Who confessed on their deathbed of murdering pretty 18 year old
Christine Kett? Did Rose Shafor really dress up as a man to help
her lover commit a crime? Who killed Julius Kruse: And was
the Cincinnati Ripper living in Dayton: These stories are told in
graphic detail in this chilling presentation.

the Randolph Twp. Historical Society, a member of the Ohio Genealogical
Society with status as a First Family of Ohio, First Family of Greene
