Domestic tragedy and two murders shock Kentucky
A Buchey of Buljis county KY killed his daughter Misa Bettie Buchey then took his own life. Neighor John Roby had sought the daughter's hand but the father opposed the match. In Louisville a man named Thomas Travers killed his wife Mary Travers then attempted to cut his own throat, later confessing. A letter from Sir John Franklin dated 1845 laments missionary work and schooling among Indigenous peoples. A village in Wallachia near Rustchuk is said to be inhabited solely by women for decades, avoiding matrimonial relations.
