Would anyone have access to an article year 1898 regarding the killing of Andrew Messemaker 23 September 1898 in Pella, Iowa? He was killed by 2 brothers Jacob & Phillip Schell. The 2 men were arrested and were to be brought to trial in district court in the October session. Appreciate any help or suggestions where I might locate more information. Mary Lou
You might want to check the court records. There surely was a trial for the murder. The case file should be in the Marion County District Court office in Knoxville unless the trial had a change of venue, but that too would be indicated. juanita > Would anyone have access to an article year 1898 regarding the killing > of Andrew Messemaker 23 September 1898 in Pella, Iowa?
