This event is free to RHS members; a $5 donation is suggested for non-members. Registration is not required. On August 21, 1895, Joseph Cicero was killed on Avondale Road just south of NE 116th Street. This event was discovered by Dean Jowers while doing research for the Redmond Historical Society. Information was gathered from newspaper articles, court records, and property tax rolls. Working together with Tom Hitzroth, a story of the murder was written for presentation at the Saturday Speaker Series. Tom will recount how two once-friendly neighboring families became enemies. He will go into detail of the day of the killing. Following that, Tom will touch on the complexity of the trials and the ramifications of the death to both families. |
