Mr. and Mrs. Wesley B. Barnard had a very narrow escape from serious injury Monday while riding down Hoyt Hill, so called. They were upon the sled containing about 400 feet of sawed lumber when the sled tongue broke and the horses started on a run down the hill. Mrs. Barnard jumped from the runaway team and Mr. Barnard was thrown and it was not until the horses reached the foot of the hill that they were stopped. The boards were scattered for a mile along the road, the sled demolished and the horses received several cuts. Luckily Mr. and Mrs. Barnard escaped injury. >The Plymouth Record, January 13, 1900, p4.
Mrs. Eveline Sanborn Barnard, whose sad and untimely death was chronicled in these columns last week was born in Campton in 1867, her parents being John and Adaline Sanborn. She lived the greater part of her life in Plymouth and was married to Wesley G. Barnard in 1885. They lived in East Hebron previous to moving to the Elmer X. Clay farm in June 1903.
In the home family, besides her husband, she leaves two sons, John C. age 18 years, and Charles O., ages thirteen years. Besides these she leaves a mother, three brothers, Walker, Theodore and Scott and one sister, Mrs. Victoria Piper, all of whom are grateful for sympathy and kindness extended.
Funeral services were held at the home Friday afternoon, July 8th with Reverend T.T. Wolcott officiating clergyman and interment at Riverside.
Mrs. Barnard was a good wife a helpmate in every sense of the word and up to the time of her sad affliction was happy with herself and her family.
The afternoon of the tragedy Mrs. Barnard was in the field with her husband and two sons, and coming time, said she would go to the house to get supper and when it was ready she would blow the horn. On not receiving the call, Mr. Barnard sent one of the boys to the house and he, not finding his mother, gave the alarm. The others came and found Mrs. Barnard in the back room dead. She had place a rifle on a shelf between two jars and supported the barrel in such a manner that it came level with her temple, she cocked the gun and used a ramrod of another gun to operate the trigger.
Mrs. Barnard had been out of health for some months and suffered from a serious mental trouble during the time and it is supposed that the unbalanced condition of her mind caused the act.
Eveline is the daughter of John F. and Adaline (Pierce) Sanborn of Campton and Plymouth. She married, on June 15, 1885, Wesley Barnard. The Plymouth Town Report shows that she died of a gunshot wound.
In The History of Plymouth, Eveline is erroneously identified as Emeline. In the Plymouth Town Report she is called Evelyn.
A Sad Suicide.
Word came to this village early Wednesday evening that Mrs. Wesley Barnard, living on the Clay place at the southwest part of the town, was dead having shot herself.
