Murder of Sarah Vail

Hi, Darlene. I'd read about this before, but again confused about the location. How can "Black River Road" be considered to be in "the Loch Lomond area"? And the crime scene was said to be at the junction of "Black River Road" and "Quaco Road". I always figured the "Black River Road" where this murder took place was not the same road we grew up on. Any thoughts? Do you find this valuable?

No, it was out toward Black River, but close enough to be of interest here.Remember, our road went all the way to Black River, and people of the time thought in inclusive areas. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I am trying to find out more about the "Little River Tragedy".

In June 1878, 28-year old William VAUGHAN was hanged for the murder of Mary QUINN in St John, New Brunswick,

William Vaughan is buried in the Old Wesleyan Burial
ground. ( This is on Thorne Ave,)Records from graveyard said he was 28 at the time of his death and survived by 2 brothers, parents were deceased ( Captain Thomas and Mary
Ann Vaughan )
There are a few sketchy news accounts and names like Sullivan, Henry and Davidson, names from our road, testified. Also, our road was then know as Little River.
