Cross, Katherine (1899-1917)

Katherine Cross was an unfortunate woman who died at the young age of 18 years and was buried in Violet Cemetery in Konawa, Oklahoma. Cross has an entry here at The Demoniacal due to a mysterious phrase written on her headstone. The phrase, "Murdered By Human Wolves" appears at the bottom of Cross' headstone. The phrase has inspired the belief that Cross was murdered by werewolves. Additional legends are that Cross became involved with a secret society, possibly either the KKK or a group of men who engaged in nefarious sexual acts. According to this later version, Cross either died accidentally during a ritual or was the victim of human sacrifice, with her body being so horribly mutilated that it was near impossible to ascertain her identity. Such tales of werewolves and secret societies are most definitely false; however, the mutilation factor betrays a horrible truth. Katherine Cross most likely died from a botched abortion and the phrase, "Murdered By Human Wolves", most likely is a reference to the two men who performed the then illegal procedure that cost Cross her life.

Human wolves literally wouldn't be unheard of. There are quite a few half man/half animal things going around Oklahoma and the indian territories. The inscription might be literal.
