Beard On last Tuesday morning persons at the Leesburg depot awaiting the arrival of the Chillicothe accommodation were made the unwilling witnesses of a frightful and shocking tragedy. As the train approached the station Mr. S. H. Beard, a well known citizen, was seen to step nearer to the track and when the locomotive was within ten feet to throw off his hat and plunge headlong between the rails directly before the pilot. The upper part of his body was completely torn to pieces by the wheels, the head severed from the body and the heart and vital organs exposed to the view of the horror stricken witnesses. The engine, though slowing up, was moving with considerable momentum and could not possibly have been stopped in time to have averted the death of the unfortunate man. Mr. Beard had been acting strangely, and it is said had expressed a purpose to take his own life with poison. He showed some signs of excitement, and as the train came into sight he went behind the brick water-tank out of view of the bystanders. When the locomotive reached the end of the platform he took the final leap before any hand could prevent it. Mr. Beard had kept a hardware store in Leesburg for many years. He had recently sold out his business but had a new store in progress of erection at the time of his death. Financial trouble is believed to be the cause of mental depression which resulted in his death. He was sixty years of age and is said to have been a man of great ability. He had practiced law and was at one time Mayor of Leesburg. (News-Herald, Hillsboro, O. - Thurs., Aug. 14, 1890, pg. 5)
