  • Summary

  • In 2007, a rough stone slab was discovered in a section of the Glenwood Cemetery in Picton set aside for families unable to afford the price of a plot. Scratched in uppercase letters on the stone are the words “G. Louder Hanged 1884 Unjustly.” 

    The execution was shockingly bungled. Instead of a quick and possibly more humane death from a broken neck, he died by strangulation. “the published accounts of the hanging confronted the community with the horror that hostility had produced.”
