Monument to Mrs. Jane Crawford Location Debate in Graysville
A Kansas writer reports correspondence about Mrs. Jane Crawford of Graysville Indiana whose grave in Johnson cemetery was found. The letter traces Crawford's life linked to Dr Ephraim McDowell and the 1809 ovarian operation. It requests more local records, notes previous mentions in medical journals, and favors a monument with caution on who should erect it.
