Book Description
“A delightful and delicious read about . . . the taste memories of this fruit created and shared for generations in homes throughout Indiana.” —Margaret McSweeney, founder and host of Kitchen Chat Whether served in a batch of cookies or in a soup bowl, the persimmon is a favorite fruit of Midwesterners. Called the “divine fruit” or the “fruit of the gods,” persimmons range from the American common persimmon, perfect for every kind of dessert, to Fuyu persimmons, a variety from China that has since won many hearts. In The Perfect Persimmon, award-winning journalist Michelle Medlock Adams serves up persimmon expertise, from knowing when the fruit is at its ripest to sharing the best preparation techniques. Adams hails from the birthplace of the Mitchell Persimmon Festival in Lawrence County, Indiana, where the Midwest’s best-kept secret, persimmon pudding, has people flocking toward what some consider the persimmon capital of the world. Armed with a love of persimmons that has been nurtured from a young age, Adams has collected the best persimmon recipes, guaranteed to satisfy any hankering for the savory or the sweet. Accompanying these recipes are personal anecdotes detailing childhood memories and folktales about greedy possums, wise turtles, and the persimmon seed’s ability to predict winter forecasts, providing a colorful context for this favored fruit. “The Perfect Persimmon is full of yummy recipes, spiced with historical references, topped with small-town charm, and sprinkled with Michelle’s signature style. What a delight!” —Ashley L. Jones, author of Modern Cast Iron “I thoroughly enjoyed traveling with Michelle through time and space to learn about the persimmon, its ecology, and its place in Midwest culture.” —Lisa M. Rose, author of Midwest Foraging

It is thought that on the way to supper, she called on Dr. J. B. Duncan, who lived at the corner of 14th and L Streets. They talked about a personal matter Sarah was experiencing and discussed Eva Love, Sarah's roommate, who was temporarily at Indianapolis.After the meal, Capt. John D. Alexander accompanied her north to the Winstandley house where he roomed. Sarah was singing. After saying goodbye to Capt. Alexander, she continued walking north on L St. using her umbrella to shield herself from the weather and making her way back toward her rooming house. She didn't get far. About a block away, an attacker struck. She was dragged nearly 76 feet along the alley into a cab shed where she was bludgeoned to death. Capt. William J. Cook, found her body the following morning.

Miller recorded from his 1904 files. Deputy Prosecutor Eli B. Stephenson also recorded his thoughts on the case and suggested who he thought the murderer might be.The case remains unsolved.
