Message Board Post:
I am looking for information on the following family that was murdered in Seymour in
1893:
Joshua Lee Foster
Eliizabeth Olive Olmstead Foster
Cora Foster
Anne Electa Foster Jordan
They were all murdered November 26,1893 by Clinton Jordan, husband to Electa Foster, who
then committed suicide. I saw a copy of a series of newspaper articles about this. I
don't know what paper they were from but would like a copy of my own for my family
records. I would also like to know where near Cruthersville they are buried. Joshua Lee
recieved a military headstone because he was a Union Civil War veteran. If possible I
would like photos of those headstones. Joshua Foster was the brother to my 2nd great
grandmother Mary Ann Foster Steele. Thanks for any help you might provide to me.
