John Roh: Death by Inferno

John Roh: Death by Inferno

All Bones Considered: Laurel Hill Stories

ABC070, part 5

John Roh was an inpatient at the Blockley Almshouse in 1885 when a fire raced through his wing and killed more than a score of male psychiatric patients who were locked in their cells.  John Roh was one of the victims of that tragedy, and we’re pretty sure he is interred in the family plot at Laurel Hill East.
