Though he claimed to be innocent, Goheen was convicted and hanged for the murder of Rosa Bray. After his conviction, Adelbert stated that his brother, Anderson, was the killer. Anderson was arrested, but Adelbert refused to testify, so Anderson was released and the execution was carried out.

In 1918, in Montana, Anderson made a death bed confession that he was the killer.

The headstone was placed in 2005,largely thru the efforts of Otter Tail County Historical Society researcher, Maxine Adams.
