History.  It is all around us.  It can show us how far we have come and how far we can still go.  The past can be confusing, can be uplifting, and mysterious.  Be like a detective and unbury the past, discover clues, dig into archives, newspapers, books, trunks of handwritten journals, photographs, files, and notes left by those from the past.  Listen to the rumors, legends of the past... and you know, some might even be true!

Like a detective, I discovered rumors that were true.  I dug into the past and found clues, I talk to some of the old-timers in town and heard stories... I do so love history and digging into the past!. Each little town has it's mysteries from the past.  I am sharing the unsolved murder of Christina Mary Jureller, a local resident, who in 1936 was found dead on the Cattaraugus Seneca Indian reservation.  

In the distance could be heard a train blowing its whistle as it traveled from town to town. It was October,1936, the weather was still warm, and two men parked their truck on the side of the road to go into the field to enjoy their lunch on that fine day. While looking for a spot to sit and eat, they made a gruesome discovery, not far from the road. The body of a young lady, lying on the ground, covered with fall leaves, eyes partially open, marks around her neck and sadly dead.
