I heard you were in New Madrid recently and city hall was gracious enough to give me your phone number. It seems you have done your research, but I would be happy to answer any questions you may have. BTW: although it has always been "billed" as the last legal hanging in Missouri, the last actually occurred in Galena on May 21, 1937. After that, the state used the gas chamber.

I only have Catholic marriages back that far and with the son being named John Wesley, I doubt that they were Catholic. Sorry. "In our own storms in life the Savior is our solace and our sanctuary.
