    Episode 122: Emma Molloy, 19th Century Evangelist, Temperance Advocate, Wife, Mother, and . . . Accessory to Murder?
    May 20 2026
    Connie Yen, Greene County archivist, began to research the story of Emma Molloy, nationally recognized 19th century temperance speaker and evangelist, for a history class at MSU. She quickly became fascinated with Emma and her alleged role in the murder of Sarah Graham in Brookline, Missouri. Emma was acquitted, but her bigamist son-in-law, George, was not, though he never stood trial. What happened you ask? To learn the answer to that question, follow one of the wildest tales of murder, mayhem, and adultery you're likely to find in these hills on the Ozarkian Folk Chronicles. To read more about the story, find Connie's book Sinner and Savior: Emma Molloy and the Graham Murder online and buy a copy.
