Jack the Ripper...in Illinois?-- Part 2


The November 1945 Chicago Tribune revisited the case of the death of Daniel Stott and reported that he was living alone, over the age of 60 and subject of attack from his malady (epilepsy). He decided to acquire the services of a housekeeper and hired one who had worked at the Belvidere (Ill.) honme of Myron Avery. Mr. Stott and the housekeeper (much younger than him) ended up getting married around 1880.

The Oct. 28, 2008 RR Star mentioned that Daniel Stott was a depot agent (good pension and/or salary).
