Josie A. Langmaid 
1875 
  
Private collection of Brad Feuerhelm 
 
LL/18909 
  
Murdered at Pembroke, New Hampshire on October 4th, 1875. 17 year old student beauty Josie Langmaid was murdered in the woods close to the Pembroke Academy whole returning home from school by Joseph Lapage, an itinerant Tree cutter. Her body was found on October 4th and her head the following day. Josie Langmaid had been cruelly raped and decapitated.
 
A series of memorial cards such as this are still found. I have enclosed two examples and also 2 views from stereoviews where the body was found in the woods. There is not much to see in these views, but the atmosphere is haunting American Gothic.
