Abstract: Appalachian History Series A curious death in Greenbrier County In late January 1897 a Lewisburg weekly carried a short notice about a young wife's death. The Greenbrier Independent identified her only as "Mrs. Shue," reported the date, and moved on. Few readers could guess that Elva Zona Heaster Shue's passing would become one of Appalachia's most retold stories. Local memory says a ghost pointed the finger at a killer.
