In Response To: Last hanging in 1895? (Shirley McMillan)

The History of West Union, Iowa (1974) has the following information : "One of the best known and most fearless of public officers of Northeastern Iowa was Henry O'Neel, who became sheriff January 1, 1888, and just in time to officiate at the first and only public execution in Fayette County." This hanging was of Henry Schmidt.
