For those of you who have found an Artimisha Ellen
Piatt on your family tree and wondered what happened
to her I must sadly report that on May 5, 1934 she was
found hanging from a window sash cord in to Eagle
Creek located near Ripley, OH. I have been
researching her as this created a legend in Ripley
which now is remembered at the Ripley Museum where I
am curator. Artimisha was the daughter of Jacob Piatt
and Christina Burnsides Piatt and born in Adams
County, OH. A rumor which went with the investigation
in 1934 was that she was married 9 times. If anyone
can shed light on any of her marriages to a Brewer,
Henry Slater, a Hedges, a Cook, a Kunzman, a Summers
or George Martin, please let me know. Her second
marriage to Scott Levi has been well documented, but I
have not been able to find the others. Also, if a
known photograph is out there somewhere, I would be
delighted to have it for the display. Photographs of
al the key people in the investigation and one of the
fishermen who found her can be seen at the museum.
