Welcome to episode 8 of Ohio 88 where I, your host, Heather Wright, will discuss one of the most notorious individuals from Clermont County, Ohio. This time, we have another female to discuss; Dovie Blanche Dean.
As a quick summary; Dovie Blanche Dean — is one of three women executed in Ohio since 1900. She used arsenic to poison her husband shortly before he died Aug. 22, 1952 at their farm in Owensville. Dean died two years later by electrocution.
Also discussed in the beginning of this episode is a little bit about Clermont County’s history. If you want to learn more about what Clermont County has to offer, you can visit the Patreon page at https://www.patreon.com/ohio88 and become a Patron for just $1 per month!
