A two year old Luzerne
County murder was sold On
This Day in 1880. Two years ago an organ grinder named Gardena murdered his 10 year old daughter,
Rosa. He then buried her body in the woods near Wanamac, in Luzerene County ,
near where he killed her.
Gardena ’s
younger daughter, Pauline, was eight at that time and is the one who reported
the murder to the authorities. She also asked for protection from her father,
as she was scared for her life.
