This is the grave of Anna K. Hartman.

Just 22 years old.

She is one of the murder victims in my upcoming book:

SKETCHES OF MURDER:

A CHRONOLOGICAL COLLECTION OF

MURDERS, SUSPICIOUS, & UNUSUAL DEATHS

IN MONROE COUNTY, MO.

I feel like I’ve gotten to know many of the murder victims I’m writing about.

I’ve researched them, learned about their families and lives, and visited their graves.

It’s so very sad when a life is cut short

at the hand of another . . .

This is the grave of

Claud Alan “Chief” Haehn.

He was only 26 years old when he was killed.

Notice what is written

across his grave . . .
