Does anyone else find it curious that the suspect was granted temporary leave to attend his daughters’ funeral in 1905? It makes me wonder about the dynamics within his family and how the community viewed this decision. While it's undoubtedly tragic that his daughters drowned, it's also baffling that such leniency was shown to someone convicted of killing Ole McMillan only a few years prior. Did the community sympathize with him despite his violent actions, or was it a gesture of compassion from a justice system looking to balance humanity with the rule of law? If anyone has more insights into how the town reacted to this particular event, I'd love to hear. Sending thoughts to the McMillans – it's sad they had to face such a tragedy within what was presumably a close-knit town.

I’ve been diving into the tragic case of Night Watchman Ole McMillan, and something that really strikes me is the sheer lack of information about the suspect. It feels odd that such a sparse description is available for someone involved in such a violent crime. All we know is that he was 54 years old at the time, but nothing more detailed—not even a full name? It makes me wonder about record-keeping back then and how it might have impacted justice being served. I can’t begin to imagine the pain Ole's family went through with this bare-minimum closure. Does anyone else think there might be more buried details that just haven’t surfaced in public records? Maybe local archives or newspapers could shed more light on who this man was.
