Summary
Accounts vary, but most likely in either late 1917 or early to mid-1918, the unofficial and institutionally suppressed discovery of a woman’s skeletal remains—the victim of a crime—rocked the Catholic community of Holy Rosary in the small settlement of Isadore—sometimes known as the Four Corners in Leelanau County in northern Michigan. The death was newsworthy on its own merits. But the fact that the remains found were those of a Catholic nun who had gone missing from the community a decade earlier made the story even more intriguing. That her bones were found buried in a shallow grave in the basement of the same church where she had regularly attended Mass, and adjacent to the parish’s school where she had served as a teacher, added multiple layers of sensationalism.
After all this time, and all the above, the story deserves a fresh review.
