  • Did you know that Jane Stanford, the founder of Stanford University, died from someone poisoning her drink? Twice! Jane Stanford had fled to Hawaii after the first poisoning scare, but was not able to survive the second. Instead of a full investigation, the case was mysteriously covered up and the culprit walked free. Was it one person or a conspiracy? And was the killer from her inner circle? A new book by Stanford history professor Richard White pieces together archive materials in a page-turning tale of Gilded Age San Francisco and reveals why many might have been quite relieved to see Jane go off to another world.

    I’m gonna have to conclude that poverty has it’s advantages. No one is gonna poison me to gain control of my bank account ($17.84) and the remainder of my estate (a couple of great pocket knives and three guppies in a leaky aquarium.) 😁
    Thank you for enlightening me about Jane Stanford. Very interesting.

    According to Hawaiian history, the Moana Hotel where Jane Stanford died, is rumored to be haunted. "there have been many reports that Stanford’s ghost still frequently visits the hotel".

    I take exception with your slander on Indiana. If you did some research on David Star Jordan, you would learn that he is not from Indiana, rather New York. While he was employed by Indiana University, that was his only tie to Indiana.

    Hello Sean, I think there is a murder mystery movie made about Mrs. Stanford. She was definetly a women who held money in a way to keep on getting her way. Because at that time women were not given alot of respect as men. A womans place was bearing children and keeping house. If i can remember the name of the movie. I will send it you so you can watch it. I saw it on tcm. It is a channel that plays old movies. I think the movie was made in the 1930 or 40'. Its a black n white movie. But spiritualism was very prevalent during her time as why the winchester home was built on the same belief. Now they say houdini was a spiritualist also. That he may have been able to spiritually be in two places for his tricks that no one can be figure out. I will let you know when that movie comes out? Have fun reading and have a great day.
