Feedback: Tragedy of the families hard to imagine It's also hard to imagine more than half the population of Adair County coming out for the event By Frank Dickerson San Mateo, CA The tragedy of the Fitzpatrick and Brewster families is hard to imagine. Also hard to imagine is that more than half the population of Adair County came out for the event, reported to have been about 7000 people. The spectators included my great grandfather James A. West, age 37, and his eldest son, Oscar Lee West, my grandfather, age 6. Grandpa Oscar was heard to relate his memory of watching the completion of the scaffolding built for the occasion. He did not mention how the proceedings affected his young mind at the time, but it must have been the source for some vivid nightmares. Try also to imagine 7000 people milling around that sterling court house square with morbid fascination. The quagmire. The stench. The you name it and be filled with awe. - FRANK DICKERSON, San Mateo, CA See related article The Fitch Brothers This story was posted on 2006-06-05 10:24:47
