Meehan Memorial Lansing Public Library to host author of “Death in a One-Room Country School” Thursday

Elaine (Myhre) Hegg, author of “Death in a One-Room Country School,” will be at the Meehan Memorial Lansing Public Library this Thursday, March 31 at 6:30 p.m. to share her story. The book is about the murder of Inga Magnusson, who was the school teacher at Bergen School District #6 in rural Allamakee County, just one mile from the settlement of Bee.
The book relays how the 23-year-old school teacher was beaten to death by Earl Throst in the basement of the remote schoolhouse. He claimed they had been dating and that she broke off the relationship. Area residents are invited to attend and find out the rest of the story.
