Notes

SpoonerHouse is heavily modified from the beginning.
County records: Anthony Freeman

he Turé’s were transplants from Montreal, Quebec. They moved into 1206 Spooner in [48 years ago] and set up house with their two children, Elise and Anton. They lived there seemingly without incident until [47 years ago], when Rebecca Turé was briefly hospitalized for “mental exhaustion” – she spent six weeks in a local asylum and was treated with electroshock therapy.
She returned in late [47 years ago] and resumed her homemaker’s duties. Elise, however, had become a problem. The eight year old became violent at school and was often sent home for swearing.
On [45 years ago] Rebecca Turé discovered her son, nine-year-old Anton, drowned in the toilet bowl of the master bedroom. The door to the bathroom was locked from the inside. Rebecca Turé was permanently hospitalized from that point on. Adam Turé left the area, and remarried.


Country records have very little information on Arthur Donnelley, only that he was known in town – to both
locals and the real estate office. An article in the local paper notes that Donnelley had visited 1206 Spooner previously, and was once interested in purchasing the house.
His death is considered an unfortunate suicide. The article then goes on to point out the high percentage of suicides in the law enforcement profession. Pouring gas on yourself and lighting it on fire is considered an ‘unfortunate’ way to go.

Though fragmented, various articles cover the Wheeler’s marriage – being as close to royalty the area has had – and Isabelle’s unknown ailment. Old newspaper articles mixed in with regular paperwork also cover Michael’s death at the County Seat work-site in [100 years ago], and Isabelle’s growing seclusion.
Logan H. (GM):Finally, the articles dry up around [73 years ago], after covering the Matthew Harrigan attack and strange death.

:This news article from [100 years ago] describes Isabelle Wheeler’s unknown ailment, and her husband’s attempts to hire doctors from out of state to see her. It describes Isabelle as bed-ridden with “convulsions” and incapable of walking. It shows a grainy picture of Isabelle marked with the date. She looks slim and proper, dressed in he Sunday best.

This article from late [84 years ago] notes with amazement Isabelle Wheeler’s seemingly complete recovery from whatever ailment afflicted her. She makes a brief appearance in public – attending several society functions – before returning to her home to “recuperate for a long period”.
Several smaller follow-up articles note he continuing good health, but she slowly drops off the society pages altogether.
