Hi, Everyone. The following information was sent to me to supplement information given in the John Monroe DEAL letter posted on my website (http://bethg.shutdown.com/drew ). As the person who sent this information asks, is there a newspaper article available dealing with these murders? If you have information to share about these people, I would definitely like to hear from you. Karen Groce [email protected] >>RE: John Monroe Deal Letter (1893 Drew Co.
