Martyr Mary Dyer Hanged in Boston
Sooooooo lame!
To defy the anti-Quaker law in Massachusetts, Mary Dyer returned to Massachusetts where she was banned along with Anne Hutchinson 22 years earlier. When she was caught for being a Quaker, and therefore breaking the law, she was given an ultimatum: repent and be banished again or don’t repent and be hanged. She chose the latter.
She is among four people hanged in Boston for being a Quaker. Her body is buried in an unmarked grave.
Sad sad.
