Floyd Frazier
|
i. Floyd Frazier b about 1886 Died by
hanging for the murder of Ellen Flannary 19 MAY 1910 in Whitesburg, Letcher Co,
KY.
He was convicted of the murder of Ellen Flannery on Pine Mountain. He was
publicly hanged on the "School Hill" in Whitesburg, at the site of the old
Whitesburg Grade School.
Floyd Frazier was the last person sentenced to hanging by the courts of Letcher
County. He was buried in the Hop Gibson Cemetery, Cowan, Letcher Co KY.
The Washington Post reported the hanging as follows:
5000 SEE BOY HANGED: Young Murderer Pays Death Penalty Before Kentucky Throng
Whitesboro (sic), (Whitesburg) KY May 13 - Floyd Frazier, A young white boy, was hanged in the
presence of 5,000 persons gathered from all parts of the mountain country. This
was the first hanging in Letcher County, and will probably be the last in
Kentucky, since electrocution has been legalized by the legislature.
Frazier murdered Mrs. Ellen Flannery, a poor widow, in May 1902. He buried
the body and covered it with stones. A search was instituted for her, in which
the murderer joined. He later confessed. He was a member of a prominent family.
