On Monday last, the day of the show, MR. HENRY OVERHOLSER was in town with his family. He started home in the evening, and when about two miles East of town another team attempted to pass him. He whipped his horses, and while running them at good speed the tongue of his wagon came out of the neckyoke. As soon as it struck the ground it upset the wagon, throwing MR. OVERHOLSER and the others out. MR. O'S head struck the ground, and crushed his skull in a terrible manner, killing him instantly. The others in the wagon were not much injured. MR. OVERHOLSER would weigh about two hundred pounds, and the force of his whole weight came on his head. He was a man about 55 years of age. -------- Note: The headstone monument shown is a memorial for Henry Overholser (top circle), daughters Martha E. (center left circle) and Mary (center right circle), and son David T. Overholser (bottom circle). The children were likely buried in this plot with or without individual headstones and after Henry died in 1867 this monument was created and erected to memorialize the father and his three young children. The monument is heavily weathered and some details are difficult to discern. The monument was read and transcribed in the 1960's or 1970's, however and it is those notes that enable identification.
