Mary Mohrman

Mary Mohrman (or Mohrmann, Mohrmon, Morman)[1] was a six-year-old girl who was raped and strangled to death in 19th-century North Philadelphia.

A funeral was held September 10, 1868, at Saint Boniface Catholic Church, at Mascher and Diamond Streets on Norris Square.

[7] At the time of her murder, John F. Hanlon Jr. was a 20-year-old, recently-married barber living with his wife and mother at 2055 N. 5th, where he cut hair in his street-level barbershop of their residence, a three-story tenement house.

Hanlon (also Hanlin) was born in 1848, the year his large Catholic family arrived from Ireland during the Great Hunger.

[9] The following year, after the Mohrman death, he used the alias Charles Harris when he was arrested for attempting to molest a 10-year-old girl.
