Dafford Harshbarger, 32, is supposed to have committed suicide about 4 on Sunday morning by shooting himself through the heart while laying in bed. He lived with his father, Ivan Harshberger, in a small house on the Tom Garland place north of Byron. He was an electirican and worked on the REMC projects. the revolver, 45 from which the fatal bullet was fired was some distance from the bed. This and the fact that he had left Waveland with some money at a late hour on Saturday night has led some to think he might have been murdered. The case is being investigated. Funeral services on Tuesday were at the Centennial ME Church on No. 47, north of 234. Burial in Bonebrake Cemetery, also on North 47. -- typed by kbz
