On April 20, 1866, Daniel Buser and John Houser were executed in Ebensburg, PA for the murders of Polly Paul and Cassie Munday. Cassie was the daughter of Katherine and Martin Munday, the original settlers of Munday's Corner. Cassie was 17 years old and living with Polly as an apprentice in the weaving business. Miss Paul, at the age of 71, normally resided alone on her Summerhill farm in Croyle Twp. She raised cattle, tilled the land, and sold timber for her income. Polly was known for her frugal ways and was rumored to have amassed a small fortune. On a late spring night, Buser and Houser came for that money. Around dusk, a neighbor's daughter, in search for some lost cows, heard screams and witnessed 2 men running from the farm. However, Polly and Cassie were not found until the following day. The money was never recovered. Polly Paul's grave is located in a small cemetery north of Summerhill. You are looking for her gravestone to complete the second stage.
