Details from newspaper account of death of Winnie Redfield, too long to add all of the account.
From The Evening Nonpareil, Saturday, 1 October 1910, page 1, Council Bluffs.
Mrs. Winnie Redfield, despondent, discouraged, and it was believed demented, a deaf mute, daughter of Mrs. Samuel Barnhart, committed suicide at rooms occupied at her mother's home at 158 West Broadway, by shooting herself through the heart. Obviously a suicide, there was no inquest.
She was the wife of Elmer Redfield who was a deaf and dumb printer, but had not been living with him since the previous winter. At that time they lived in Omaha. Winnie worked in Omaha factories and most recently at a candy factory. Her mother persuaded Winnie to go home and live with the Barnharts.
She had taken a revolver that belonged to her mother and hidden it underneath her pillows, and on the morning of October 1st, after a trip down town, came home, disrobed and shot herself. The body was discovered by her mother.
She was the daughter of Henry Tatum and Evelyn Florence Gilpin Tatum. Whereabouts of her husband Elmer were not known at the time of her death.
Winnie is buried in the plot with her mother and stepfather.
