Episode 4: Langmaid, Part 4

At the end of Part 3, we learned that the Langmaids were a family who knew loss and tragedy well. Just months after daughter Josie was murdered, their teenaged son, Waldo died of pneumonia. We found out that by 1880, while Sarah and the Langmaid children still lived in Pembroke, NH, James was then living in the middle of Minnesota! Why?*

With all of the twists and turns in their live up to this point, what else could have happened to split this family up? And how would the rest of their lives play out?

Part 4 is the final installment of the Langmaid story. Come and see how it all ends....

11/10/20 *It has since been brought to my attention that in this episode, I say that James Langmaid was living “430 miles away in Yellow Medicine County, MN”. Of course, Yellow Medicine County is more like 1430+ miles west of Pembroke, NH, so I think I dropped a “1” somewhere along the way. Thank you to Corey Nasman for showing me the goof and paying such close attention!
