My husband's grandfather's second wife Ada B, shot and killed him
(grandfather) in 1914 in St Louis, MO. The census data says she was from IN, and the
newspaper stories indicts she was from Madison, Jefferson, IN. Testimony at
the trial indicated she also had shot a women in Madison, Jefferson, IN, in
1904-5
She is an Ada B born around 1877. (maiden name unknown), Ricketts, Schneider
Owsley. Newspaper stories says she married a John Ricketts, and had one son
Edward by him. John died within 5 years of their marriage, and Edward was
born around 1896. She married Joseph Schneider, and divorced him after five
years. She married my husband's grandfather, Benjamin S Owsley, in Dec 1909
in Clark Co. She was living in St Louis after the killing in 1920 census,
under the name Ada B. Owsley, with her son Edward Ricketts. I cannot find for
sure what happen to her after that, nor to Edward.
If you match any of this to your file, please let me know.
