The True Story of Ed Overman's Death

To me Ed Overman seemed a larger than life kind of folk hero in the oral history of the Overman clan. He was well known and well liked in the area of Iola Kansas, even though he was not a man to abstain from drink. My father loved this uncle and though he was only about seven when Ed died, he had a very clear memory of him. His death however was anything but ordinary. Was the story my father told me true? I looked into it to find out. Listen to the podcast to find out the rest of the story.
