A grim crowd gathers at the Kehoe farm in Bath Township, Michigan, in the aftermath of the 1927 Bath School disaster. The handwritten note on this photo says the arrow marks where Mrs. Kehoe’s body was found “the day following the destruction.”
Investigators determined that Andrew Kehoe, the man responsible for the Bath school bombing, killed his wife, Nellie Price Kehoe, and then set explosives that destroyed the farmstead. Her remains were discovered after the fires and blasts at the property — another heartbreaking layer to a tragedy that left the community reeling.
Photos like this show how quickly a small Mid-Michigan township became the center of national headlines — and how many questions lingered in those first days.
What have you heard, read, or been told about the Kehoe farm and what investigators found there?
