Pardon Came Too Late to Save Lebanon Woman’s Life
An old Harrisburg pamphlet recounts Harriet Wilson born in Lebanon who killed her child and faced execution. Her brother Amos Wilson rode with a pardon to Lebanon but a flooded ford delayed him, rendering the pardon invalid. He hid in Stoverdale cave near Hummelstown for 19 years, dying in 1814, with memoirs about the hermit legend. The tale raises skepticism about Lebanon history and local records.
