1901 Walter Elias Disney – Animation pioneer and founder of the Disney Empire.

I wonder if he would be proud or ashamed of what Disney has become?







1932 Little Richard (Pennimann) – Singer and preacher (Good Golly Miss Molly, Tutti Frutti, Long Tall Sally, Lucille)

I wonder what denomination he is? Looked it up... Seventh-day Adventist. I didn't remember him dying either.







1873 Bridget Landregan – The first victim of the Boston Belfry Murderer. She was found beaten and strangled to death in the Boston suburb of Dorchester. According to witnesses, a man in black clothes and a flowing cape attempted to sexually assault the dead girl before running away. In 1874, a man fitting the same description clubbed another young girl, to death, and in 1875 a third victim was bludgeoned in her bed. Residents of Boston were shocked to learn that the killer had been among them all along. Thomas Piper, the sexton at the Warren Avenue Baptist Church, was known for his flowing black cape, but because he was friendly with the parishioners, nobody suspected his involvement. But when a five-year-old girl, who was last seen with the sexton, was found dead in the church's belfry in the summer of 1876, Piper became the prime suspect. Piper, who was dubbed The Boston Belfry Murderer, confessed to the four killings after his arrest. He was convicted and sentenced to die, and he was hanged in 1876

I hope they hanged him in the belfry.
