An accidental find.. Some interesting Kansans..

Including a woman who was hanged for stealing cattle..(sounds like ..she was unjustly hanged :(..)

Then there was Ella Watson. Hung in 1889 in Wyoming for being a "cattle thief" and given the name Cattle Kate, Ella was more likely a woman in the wrong place at the wrong time. She legally homesteaded 160 acres of public land that was used by a large cattleman as range and water for his herd. She refused to leave and was killed by six members of the cattlemen association. She was born in Canada, and her family moved to Smith County, Kansas, where she left at age 17 or thereabouts. Her nieces still live in Kansas. Sharon Leigh
