I had the pleasure of doing some post publishing research for my book in Warren, Ohio. I'll share a few docu-videos of my trip where we visited sites from the book. The first video is Southington, Ohio where my grandfather's farm was located and where the murder took place in 1920. 




In the early morning hours of September 13, 1920, a tragic murder takes place at the Pulchalski farmhouse in Southington, Ohio. Twelve-year-old Stanley desperately runs along a dusty country road sent by his mother to fetch the Sheriff. An infamous scandal unfolds over the next several weeks taking Stanley and his siblings on a harrowing journey through a notorious orphanage and an incredible attempt to escape. Finding true love is Stanley's only hope to finally come to terms with the torment of his tragic past. The story is based on true events in the life of Stanley William Miller. It inspires the heart on how a young man’s devotion to his family pushes him beyond impossible odds and testifies to the perseverance of the human spirit.

I left my home base in North Canton and traveled forty or so miles to Warren along with my father and brother. We made our way along Market Street towards the cemetery, gazing at old buildings and old homes and wondering if my grandfather Stanley had seen these same buildings and homes when he escaped the orphanage on his way to freedom. St. Mary's Cemetery is a small cemetery adjacent to two other cemeteries in the area. Oakwood Cemetery and Union Cemetery. We pulled into St. Mary's Cemetery with high hopes and nervous excitement, ready to locate our ancestor and document the find...
