Heart of Stone

There was a woman serial killer who had a heart of stone. She was the worst person who her victims had ever known. She killed her three husbands and seven kids. It gives goosebumps to think about what she did. This woman was very evil and sick. She killed her victims with arsenic. It was the 19th Century and people thought that women serial killers couldn't exist. Every time she remarried, her husband became the next victim on her list. Killing children is the worst thing that a person can do. This evil woman was finally brought to justice in 1872. After an autopsy was performed, she was convicted and sent to jail. When she died six years later, this Psychopath went straight to Hell. She died in May of 1878 at the age of fifty-four. People were glad that she wasn't around anymore. (This is a true story about Lydia Sherman who died 136 years ago today.)
