The last man hanged in Marshall, Missouri, was John D. Lee, who was executed on December 14, 1887. He was convicted for his role in the Mountain Meadows Massacre, a tragic event involving the murder of a group of Mormon settlers in 1857. Lee's execution marked the end of capital punishment by hanging in the state, as Missouri later transitioned to other methods of execution.
