Quoting Plattshirl(a)aol.com message of 29 Apr 01,
Anybody care to share the story of the Wratten murders??
What happened?
There is a history by L. Rex Myers, "Daviess County,Indiana :
history" (Paducah, Kentucky: Turner Publishing Company, 1988-
1991, 2 volumes).
In volume one, a whole chapter has been devoted to the Wratten
Murders.
I have extracted some of this and posted it to the Web. For the
major players, go to this site:

For each of the following, place their names in the search
window without the quotes and press enter.
"stone, james" and in the results click on him. He is the
hatchet man.
"baldwin, elizabeth" and in the results click on her for my
summary of the incident. She married Samuel RATTON (the original
spelling of WRATTEN or WRATTON).
