CAREY J. BARNHIZER HANGS SELF AT HOME WEDNESDAY MORNING.
Body Found in Barn Loft by Wife – Had Been Suffering Ill Health
Suffering from ill health for a number of years and an injury to his neck while spending the past summer in Michigan, resulted in the suicide of Carey Joseph Barnhizer, one of the best known residents of the Hurricane community, at his home 2 miles north of Franklin, Wednesday morning. The body of Mr. Barnhizer was discovered by Mrs. Barnhizer hanging in the loft of the barn shortly before 10:00 and he had been dead for some time before the discovery.
A note found after the discovery of the body bore the statement that he “could not go on,” but gave no reason for the taking of his life. Members of the family were greatly shocked, but have had several warnings that Mr. Barnhizer might attempt to take his life and had been guarding him for several days. He was at the house about 7:30 o’clock Wednesday morning and was not missed until about 9:30 o’clock, when a son, Arnold Barnhizer, went to the house to shut off the windmill. At that time, Mrs. Barnhizer realized that Mr. Barnhizer had not gone to the fields as he had announced he would, and, going to the barn, she discovered the body.
Dr. D. L. Phipps, of Whiteland, was immediately called, but was unable to render any assistance, and other members of the family were notified of the tragedy. Funeral services will be held from the Community church Friday afternoon with burial in the Hurricane cemetery….
Brooded Over Fancies ----
Mr. Barnhizer had suffered hay fever and asthma for a number of years and during the past summer, as had been his custom, had spent several weeks in Michigan in search of relief. While in Michigan, he received an injury to his neck and members of the family had noticed that he had not appeared his former self after that time. During the past two weeks, his condition had gradually grown worse, although the change was not apparent to others than the family, and Mr. Barnhizer had brooded over every incident which came to his attention.
As a result of this despondency and brooding, Mr. Barnhizer had refused to accompany members of the family to the church services Sunday evening, as he was possessed with the idea that everyone there was his enemy. For the past two weeks, Mrs. Barnhizer and the son had watched over him at every opportunity and he was left alone Wednesday morning after he had announced that he was going to the field, where Arnold was gathering corn. Supposing that he had gone to the field, Mrs. Barnhizer was doing her work at the house and the son thought that his father was at the house.
Noticing that the windmill was still in operation and thinking that the tank would be overflowing, Arnold went to the house when Mrs. Barnhizer, seeing that Mr. Barnhizer was not with him, went to the barn where the body was found.
Widow and Two Sons Survive-----
Mr. Barnhizer was born in the Hurricane community on a farm near the Hurricane Baptist church and was one of four children born to Frank and Etta Barnhizer. He had spent his entire life in the community and was one of the best liked and most respected residents of the Hurricane community. For many years he had been a member of the Hurricane Baptist church, and after its union with other churches into the Community church, his membership had been transferred there.
On April 8, 1898 Mr. Barnhizer was united in marriage to Miss Carrie Hartsell, who died several years later, following an operation. Two sons born to this union, Arnold Barnhizer and Joseph Barnhizer, survive the death of their father. In 1921 Mr. Barnhizer was again united in marriage, to Miss Ethel Bridges, and the widow survives his death with two sisters, Mrs. Erie Fisher and Mrs. Marie Barnhizer. Mrs. Etta Barnhizer, his mother, also survives.
