| Spring Meadow. Here is an image that was taken at the Pennsylvania Railroad's Spring Meadow Passenger Shelter just North of Duncansville, Pennsylvania, on 24 November 1934. In this context, a group of local officials inspect the scene where Elmo Noakes killed himself after murdering his niece, Winifred Pierce. A week or so before, the two of them had smothered his three children near Carlisle, Pennsylvania, thereafter hitchhiking to Altoona and ending-up here in Spring Meadow. It's a sad, sad tale of madness. |
