Our Next Historical Society Program:
"Poisoned in Urbana"
On Sunday January 20, 2019, at 2 pm at the Champaign County Historical Museum, 809 E. Lawn Ave., Urbana, Attorney Darrell Heckman will present "Poisoned in Urbana". This presentation recounts the intentional poisoning of a prominent Urbana family in 1927 and the identification, charging, and extradition of the suspect - a lawyer! There are numerous twists to the story all of which are fascinating. The public is encouraged to attend; attendees should note, however, that this event will coincide with the Annual Meeting of the Champaign County Historical Society. |
