Murder By A Mother: The Brockwell Tragedy

In the spring of 1905, the citizens of Paducah, Kentucky awoke to unbelievable headlines. Three sisters had died overnight and a group of doctors were working to find out exactly what had happened.. The truth was more vile than anybody could believe. —

As noted in the book, my proceeds were to go toward purchasing a monument for the Brockwell children until that goal had been met. As of midnight on 3.16.2019: The monument is completely funded. THANK YOU!! —

Mary Brockwell was my great grandfather’s aunt. I wrote this story for my grandmother as she has always carried with her that lingering question of “WHY??”

”By the kindness of an outraged public, there will be placed over the graves of these little ones, a monument, to mark their last resting place..” - Rev. T. J. Newell, at the Brockwell sisters funeral, 1905
