#8 Mrs. Emily Strutynsky, a Ukrainian school teacher, walked into St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church, pulled a gun from her dress, and killed Rev. Father Basil Stetsuk on October 7, 1923. She claimed she had to kill the priest because he was “such a bad leader of the Ukrainians”. Strutynsky’s husband, Rev. Nicholas Strutynsky, was the former priest of the church and had been driven away to a church in Pennsylvania. Strutynsky spent four years at the Kankakee State Hospital, Department of the Criminally Insane, before she slipped away on July 9, 1927 and jumped into the river.
