Bio
Lived 37 years Daughter of James H. Young and Rebeca E. Young ∼ Age 37 - Wife of G.W. Washburn - Victim of Domestic Violence ***** MURDER OF MRS. LUCY WASHBURN. On Monday evening, May 22, 1860, Mrs. Lucy Washburn, wife of G. W. Washburn, of Ypsilanti, was found at the foot of the cellar stairs in her dwelling, dead. Upon discovery of the body an examination was made. The dress and hair of the deceased were somewhat disarranged; one of her shoes was found in a bedroom, the other she had on her foot; there were appearances of blood about the nose and mouth, and marks as of the grasp of a hand on the throat and neck, and some other immaterial bruises. In the bed-room spoken of there were two beds. One of them was disarranged, and on the under side of the tick of the feather bed were found spots of apparently fresh blood, and there were appearances about the room that indicated that a struggle had taken place. Mr. Washburn, the husband of the dead woman, was a butcher by trade, and somewhat addicted to the use of liquor. He had not been living with his wife for some time, but had been down to see her frequently, and at the time of her death had commenced an action for divorce. When found he was in his room at the hotel, asleep, or in bed. A jury was impaneled by Justice Cook, of that city, by direction of whom a post-mortem examination was made by Drs. Ashley and Post. The jury rendered a verdict of "death by violence from some person or persons to them unknown." Mr. Washburn was afterward arrested, tried, found guilty, and recommended to the mercy of the court by the jury.
