    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Shaffer, Murch Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3hGBAEB/1441 Message Board Post: Looking to confirm a family story. Ella C. Shaffer, B. 1886 to Mary Murch & George Shaffer in Dutchess Co., NY. Lived w/parents in Poughkeepsie through 1915 NY State census. Story is that she worked in a silent movie theater, possibly in NYC and dated the owner of a Chinese laundry. When she started "stepping out" on him with the theater owner, the laundry man murdered them both. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
