NOVEMBER  PROGRAM

MYSTERY ON CHERRY STREET

 

Tuesday, November 18, 2008

7:00 PM Missoula Public Library

Large Downstairs Meeting Room

 

In 1974 a backhoe operator unexpectedly uncovered a human skull in a Missoula homeowner’s back yard.  A subsequent excavation revealed the partial remains of two skeletons, along with antique coffin hardware.  To date, the identity of these individuals and the circumstances of their burials remains a mystery.  However, research has provided intriguing information.  Katherine Baumler, University of Montana graduate of Anthropology/Archaeology and Master’s degree student in Social Work, will present her evidence and findings about this mysterious case.
