The Butcher Of Ashley - Murder Drew National Attention To Pike CountyBy Brent Engel

Editor’s note: Following is the sec-ond part of a series by Pike Countyhistorian, journalist and public rela-tions professional Brent Engel on the1870 murder of Abbie Summers inAshley.Ambrose Coe was coming back

from a trip to Kansas when he stoppedin Ashley.The date was Thursday, June 9,

1870. Martin Bryant later testified Coewanted to trade a suit for a pistol, butBryant said he declined. Robert Smithsaid he found nothing amiss when hespent time with Coe on Saturdaynight.On Sunday morning, Coe showed

up as his former fiance, music educa-tor Abbie Summers, attended church.One congregation member reported heunsheathed a butcher knife, but causedno trouble. Another said he lookedtroubled as he walked out before theservice was over.Coe followed Summers to the

home of one of her friends, waitingoutside until she left and walked backto her boarding house. The clockshowed it was just before noon.Joseph Watkins, the principal of

Watson Seminary was visiting withSummers in the music room of theboarding house when he saw througha window that Coe was coming up thestreet.“We were laughing and talking

when I saw Coe pass,” Watkins latertestified. “He came back and I heard

the gate latch. She also heard it andstarted to go and look out and I toldher it was Coe. She said nothing andsoon after Coe knocked.”Watkins sensed Summers’ nervous-

ness, and asked her if Coe should beallowed in. Summers agreed. Watkinssaid Coe “spoke very politely” as hewalked into the music room andstrolled across the floor to a piano.“I told him to take a seat and asked

for his hat,” Watkins recalled. “Heturned to give it to me, and then sawMiss Summers sitting behind the door.He stepped towards her and extendedhis hand. She merely bowed, but re-fused to take his hand.”There was an awkward silence as

Coe gave his hat to Watkins and theprincipal placed it on the piano, seat-ing himself on the nearby stool.Finally, Summers got up to leave

and Coe begged her to stay. He said hewanted to speak with her alone. Sum-mers asked Watkins to wait in the par-lor across the hall. When Watkinsdidn’t budge, she asked him again,and Summers accompanied him to thedoor of the music room.“As I went out, I said ‘If you need

me, call me,’” Watkins testified.Summers said nothing. Moments

later, Watkins and the boardinghouse’s owner, Minor Griggs, heard ahorrible scream.Griggs kicked down the locked

door just as Watkins came across thehall.“The first thing we noticed was

Coe retreating from the window,”Watkins testified. “We did not see thebody at first. The door flying open re-vealed the body lying under the win-dow partly on its left side. Blood waspouring out of it, and it was proppedup by a butcher knife, which wassticking into it.”The Quincy Daily Whig reported

blood had “spurted from the woundsto the ceiling, some twelve feet abovethe floor and left there great crimsonspots, while the carpet was coveredwith gore.”Watkins said he asked Griggs to go

for a doctor and then wrestled withCoe.“He muttered something which I

took for ‘I have killed her,’ but I do notknow certainly it is what he said,”Watkins testified. “I gave him awrench over and threw him to thefloor. I put my knee on his breast tohold him down. He made no resist-ance and I…went to her body to see ifI could help her. I felt (for a) pulse andfound none.”Though Summers died quickly, she

certainly knew what was happening.A wound to her left breast indicatedshe was facing her attacker when thefirst blow was struck. One of the threestab marks to the back proved fatal.The weapon had been thrust with suchforce that it severed her spine.“I tried to draw the knife out of the

body with the left hand, but couldnot,” Watkins testified. “I changed anddrew it out with great difficulty with

my right hand. Streams of blood fol-lowed the knife.”Coe “stood calmly by, not a muscle

of his face twitched,” the State Journalreported. “He made no effort to es-cape, but viewed unconcernedly the…ruin at his feet, the body of the sweetgirl he had robbed of life.”Just then, Reuben Strother and an

unidentified man entered the room.Strother picked up the knife andmoved toward Coe. Fearing that thesuspect would be harmed, Watkins in-tervened and threw the knife out thewindow. Coe then got up and ranouWatkins said he “grappled with Coeagain” until George Matthews couldrestrain the suspect. Word of the crimespread quickly.“When the citizens heard of the

murder and hastened to the bloodyscene, Coe asked them to take him outand hang him,” the Lincoln CountyHerald reported.The Quincy Daily Herald reported

that Coe allegedly said he wanted todie because he “had nothing left to livefor.”Instead of being hung, Coe was ar-

rested. On the five-mile trip to the PikeCounty Jail in Bowling Green, author-ities allegedly dared Coe by saying ifhe really wanted to die, he shouldjump out of the wagon and make a runfor it.Coe “declined doing so, and said

‘Please don’t hurt me,’” according toThe Herald.Summers’ remains were placed in

a metal casket at Louisiana and sent toQuincy aboard a steamboat on June14.Jane Summers accompanied her

sister’s body. A visitation was held ata relative’s home near Ninth and Ver-mont.“Many who had known Abbie

Summers in life, and loved her for herkind and gentle nature and her sweetdisposition, called yesterday afternoonto take a last look and mingle theirtears with the bereaved ones,” TheWhig reported.The newspaper said that “one could

scarcely believe that the cold, inani-mate form was locked in death’s em-brace, so natural was its appearance.”“It seemed as though she were

sleeping sweetly, the sleep of inno-cence,” the paper wrote. “No rigidityof features, no contraction of the mus-cles were there to tell of the fearfulagony of the death struggle.”Summers was dressed in white

merino trimmed in white satin.“All that was mortal of Abbie Sum-

mers looked handsome in death,” TheWhig wrote. “A wreath of white rosesand lilies encircled the pale and stillbeautiful face, and attested the depthof the love and friendship of thosewho paid the last sad tribute to hermemory.”The funeral was held June 15 at the

Unitarian Church.“The keen and poignant sorrow,

and bitter agony, the anguish and griefSee MURDER on page 7

game continued four on four untillate in the fourth quarter when an-other Louisiana player fouled out.Again, Coach O’Heron pulled oneof her players. Eventually, Silex won the game

Jayson Orr Releases First Single ‘Southern Night’BY BRICE CHANDLER

STAFFWRITERAround this time of year, many

18-year-old college students are fo-cused on summer internships, work,or spending time with family andfriends. 2019 Van-Far graduate, Jayson

Orr is similar in many ways. He just finished his freshman year

at North Central Missouri College,has a summer job, supportive family,and friends.But unlike most college students

going into their sophomore year,Jayson just dropped his first debutsingle titled “Southern Night”.

The song follows in the footstepsof many country stars. It starts outwith a classic beat and instrumentsthat provide a familiar sound forlongtime fans of the genre which ac-company and highlightJayson’sstrong vocals and lyrics. While the song is the culmination

of many hours of work and studiorecording, it’s not the start ofJayson’s musical journey. His Face-book page has recordings that showoff his vocal range and passion forcountry. Jayson learned to play the piano

at an early age and has always beenmusically inclined, but he put it

aside for a short period. Jayson discussed turning back to

music and the recording process in aphone interview with The People’sTribune.

“My first thought about becom-ing a singer was when I was aboutfifteen. I was staying at my grand-parent’s house at the time and learn-ing how to play the guitar. One nightaround 9 p.m., I woke both mygrandparents up for them to listen tome play a rendition of Garth Brook’s‘Friends in Low Places’. From thenon, that’s what I wanted to do.”

According to Jayson, his grand-parents were surprised by the im-promptu show not only because ofthe timing, but also since he hadonly known the basics of guitarplaying up to that point. “I learned how to play piano as a

little kid, but I rarely touched theguitar,” Jayson explained. “I learnedthe basics, but I basically put musicaway as an early teen. Sometime inmy sophomore/ junior year it finallyhit me in my that ‘hey I’m prettygood at this. Pick it back up.’ Ihaven’t put it down since.”Although he learned the basics of

guitar from his church’s praise bandguitar player while growing up inVandalia, Jayson was mostly self-taught. After deciding he wanted to pur-

sue a musical career, Jayson reachedout to another musician from Bowl-ing Green who traveled a similarroad – Joey Wray. Joey Wray released his debut EP

in September of 2018, which has sixoriginal songs, including his popularsingle “Catch and Release.” He hassince released the singles “Brothers”and “I Can’t Run” and began touringwith a full band. Joey connected Jayson with a

producer out of Springfield whoeventually recorded his single“Southern Night”. With the final cut in hand, the re-

sponsibility of getting the song outto the public fell on Jayson and his

friends and family. So far, they’vebeen successful. 30 online stores ac-cepted the song prior to its launchSaturday, and it’ll be availablethrough most streaming servicessoon. Outside of the studio, Jayson has

also performed live at the L.O.T.O.Lounge at Lake of the Ozarks. He’splanning on playing for venues inthe Bowling Green area for thosewho want to see him perform.While his goal is living the dream

that many have shared (making it onthe big stage and performing for tensof thousands), Jayson is stillgrounded. He’s going to finish hissophomore year at North CentralMissouri before transferring. “The plan is to go to Middle Ten-

nessee State University in Nashvilleand study songwriting from there,”he stated.Between being a full-time student

and working through the summer,Jayson is focused on writing,recording, and building momentumwith “Southern Night” for a self-ti-tled debut album which he hopes torelease in late July or early August. As for his songwriting process,

most of the songs Jayson writes arebuilt from his experiences. “South-ern Night” is a little different. “When it came to writing this

song, I didn't really write it aboutme. Most of the songs happen aboutsomething I went through or some-thing I felt. That's usually when I getthe best writing.” According to Jayson, this song

evolved from a story a friend toldhim about an evening date out in thecountry on a summer night. That rural setting inspired more

than his friend’s romance. Jaysonuses it to find inspiration as heworks on new songs.“I usually go out to my front

porch in the morning,” Jayson de-scribes his writing process. “Thatbeautiful landscape of the country-side is where I’ve written most ofmy songs. From there I record andtitle it as that day’s cut of the song.When it comes to writing, I try to letthe songs just come to me natu-rally.” For those interested in keeping up

with Jayson’s journey, he invites thepublic to connect with him on Insta-gram atwww.instagram.com/jayson_orr andhis Facebook profile. You can also find his new single

“Southern Night” on iTunes, Spo-tify, and Youtube. Eventually“Southern Night” will be availableon every major streaming service.
