Source: Waveland Independent newspaper, Waveland, Montgomery County, Indiana, Thursday, March 14, 1940

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
