Kurtz - Jennie



Source: Crawfordsville Daily Journal Monday 27 July 1892

Lafayette, Ind., July 27—The body of Jennie Kurtz, the pretty 16 year old daughter of Charles W. Kurtz, of this city, was found in the Wabash River Saturday afternoon. Mr. Kurtz objected to his daughter receiving the attentions of Ellwood Good, and last Monday evening severely chastised her with a strap for disobeying him. Tuesday morning she started for the factory where she had been employed, and that was the last her family saw of her alive. She had removed her shoes and stockings and sprang into the water. – thanks for S for this one
