1852: The Hanging at Greenupsburgh

“A large number of our citizens went to Greenupsburgh on Friday, to see Clark, one of the murderers of Brewer and his wife, hung. Those who saw the execution, report that he died very easily, with scarcely a struggle. He made a few remarks to the vast number of spectators, (probably five thousand,) expressed himself as resigned to his fate and hoped to meet all in Heaven. The Scioto No. 2, which took a large number of passengers up, made the trip (twenty miles,) down, in about one hours.”1
