Lydia Mary Blashfield
Lydia has a curious history. In 1902, in Lincoln County OK, she was convicted of the murder by poisoning of her 18-month daughter Corine. She was convicted and then pardoned about 1910 and there's seems no doubt of her innocence. She was traveling at the time with a much older woman named Mary Conrey who was nearly blind. Suspicion falls on this woman as the instigator of the crime. She was sentenced to life in prison, did time in Lansing KS, and declared insane was sent to the asylum in Norman OK in 1903 where she died within a few years. The question remains: who was Mary Conrey and what kind of hold did she have on Lydia?
