Batavia

A skull discovered during the remodeling of a Batavia home more than four decades ago has been identified as belonging to an 18-year-old Indiana woman who died after giving birth to a child in 1866.

Authorities in Kane County linked a skull found in the walls of a Batavia home in the 1970s to an Indiana woman who lived in the mid-1800s, NBC Chicago’s Charlie Wojciechowski reports.
