Photo 6-FTA-18

Comments

Site of the Moser murders in 1900.

Hello Matt,
Do you have any details about this Incident? I guess that makes this property a century farm.

Nathan,
Samuel Moser murdered his wife and three children following years of angst over church struggles. His trial was highly publicized in Tazewell County and Illinois. There is a recently published true crime book written about the story, "So Many Fragile Things."
