Both were known as healers, although Rehmeyer’s talents were far greater than the younger Blymire’s.

The Voodoo Murder of Pennsylvania II, the Crime and Trial
The background as to why Nelson D. Rehmeyer, the Witch of Rehmeyer’s Hollow, was murdered has been set in the first part of the Voodoo Murder of Pennsylvania. While the Pennsylvania Dutch and German populace of the Hexbelt of the commonwealth believed in spells, mainstream society thought this was silly superstition. There had witchcraft trials in Pennsylvania and William Penn sat on the grand jury of one of them, but, this was the 1920s. Judges and other elected officials believed that to give credence to the beliefs of the “superstitious” Dutch would make Pennsylvania the laughingstock of the USA. The court wanted to totally suppress any testimony about witchcraft. The press wrote about the sensational trial. This attracted the attention of lawyer Clarence Darrow of Scopes Monkey Trial Fame.
