Trying to obtain a newspaper account or obituary regarding the death of Diana E (
Wineinger or
Simmons)
Hollyfield or
Holyfield who died about April 22, 1887 in
Montgomery County Kansas.
She was the granddaughter of John A and Catherine
Wineinger of
Dubois County,
Indiana. Her mother was Jane (
Wineinger)
Simmons, wife of James
Simmons of
Dubois County,
Indiana. Diana’s birth name shows up as both
Simmons and
Wineinger.
She moved to
Montgomery County,
Kansas in 1886, and may have lived with her aunt and uncle John T and Margery (
Wineinger) Corn, formerly of
Dubois County,
Indiana.
She married an L V
Hollyfield or
Holyfield in
Montgomery County Kansas, apparently about the time she became of age to receive an inheritance from her grandfather John A Wineinger’s estate. The couple apparently argued over the money, and she was shot and killed by her husband, who then committed suicide.
Her obituary or an account of her death would be much appreciated.
