I came across this a couple years ago in an old newspaper.
Like so many reports in old newspapers, there was no follow up.
In September 1873, the wife of Boston, Kansas, Dr. F.S. Olney shot and wounded a man trying to defend a woman of questionable repute.
A Howard County newspaper described Mrs. Olney as a virtuous female regulator.
She and some of her female friends were trying to rid Boston of the obnoxious female when the shooting took place.
The "virtuos" Mrs. Olney was better off home reading her Bible than out trying to kill someone.
Boston had five churches so there could have been a lot of bible reading.
There was also a Boston Literary Society that met on Thursday nights at 7:30.
Interesting details from so long ago.
