Scenery Hill Murderers:

By John Haller

Hill's stone tavern and inn, owned by Mr. William Ready, was one of hundreds of businesses that sprang up along the National Road (Route 40) connecting Cumberland, Maryland to Wheeling, Virginia (now West Virginia) and on to Vandalia, Illinois. Located in the 'pike village' of Scenery Hill in Western Pennsylvania, the tavern had become a popular watering hole for wagon haulers, stagecoach travelers, and migrant families moving west into the Ohio River Valley. Ready, a man known for being an honest merchant, was allegedly poisoned by his wife Penelope and a con man named Fritsch von Graf. The murder and the subsequent trial are the subject matter for this book. Though the history of the Road is true, the story is fiction and in no way intended to represent the actual history of Hill's Inn, its owners, or its staff.
