HomicideInfo
He moved to marion late in 1846. In early 1847, he was murdered. Nathaniel carnagy will forever be known as linn county’s first murder victim. The murder may have been the best thing that ever happened to carnagy – from a purely historical perspective, of course. Otherwise, there would be little, if anything, about his life in the local history books. One cannot tell what he might have accomplished later in life had he survived, but there are no indications that he was anything but a farmer or laborer. Probably hardworking. Quite possibly a good father. But about the only thing we know for sure about him was that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Nathaniel carnagy is one of the mysteries in marion history.As with anything else of passing interest that occurred at that time, some guesses have to be made about the circumstances of carnagy’s death.Agency
