The Sutton Historical Society was proud to present:
Laureen Reidesel, Guest Speaker
Laureen Reidesel is the Director of the Beatrice Public Library and a popular speaker on many topics related to the history of Southeast Nebraska. She choose the tragic story of William Jackson Marion who was at the center of a great crime mystery, or mysteries.
Laureen brought the story to life weaving through the twists of the story. Much of that story remains clouded in the fog of history and is likely to stay there.
We had a good crowd; everyone seemed to enjoy it; sorry if you missed it. My advice: if you get a chance to hear Laureen sometime, you really should do so.
The event was held at the Allegro Wolf Art Center, a super venue for the program.
