Read More	All six members of the Haven family were murdered on or about February 9, 1930. The Haven family lived on a farm about a mile north of Schafer, a village east of Watford City. The family had five members: Albert, 50, Lulia, 39, Daniel, 18, Leland, 14, Charles, 2, and Mary, 2 months old. As of February 1930, the family had lived on their farm more than ten years. They owned household goods including a piano and a radio as well as "considerable livestock, feed and machinery. No member of the family was seen alive after February 9, 1930. Charles Bannon had worked as a hired hand for the Havens. He stayed on the Haven farm after the family disappeared, claiming that he had rented the place. He told neighbors that the family had decided to leave the area. In December 1930, Bannon was jailed on grand larceny charges. In the course of the investigation that followed, authorities discovered that the Haven family had been murdered. In the early morning hours of January 29, 1931, a mob broke into the small stone jail at Schafer, North Dakota, and seized Charles Bannon. The mob hanged Bannon from a nearby bridge. It was North Dakota's last lynching. Charles Bannon, who was 22 years old, had spent only a few days in the Schafer jail prior to the break-in. He been moved from the larger and more secure jail in Williston on January 23, 1931, so he could be arraigned in Schafer on charges that he murdered the six members of the Haven family. His father, James Bannon, was also confined in the Schafer jail, awaiting arraignment as an accomplice to the murder. -------------------------------------- I put Daniel on FAG as a Haven but the other spelling varient is Hoven.
