In 1906, William killed his wife and than killed himself.  Per the Boonville Inquirer, Friday, June 29, 1906:

William Hardin shot and instantly killed hi wife at their home in Tennyson, on Saturday night, June 23, 1906 and on Sunday morning, about daylight, he shot himself dying instantly. The shooting was done with a shotgun. It is claimed by partied in Tennyson that the trouble was caused by jealousy, but the general opinion is, he was insane; as his wife, Mrs. Hardin, was an excellent woman, the latter theory os probably correct. He was about 60 years old and his wife was about 49.  They left two sons, Minor aged 13 years and Nolan aged 6 years.

Per the Evansville Courier, Tuesday, June 26, 1906:

DOUBLE TRAGEDY VICTIMS BURIED
Almost Whole Town of Tennyson, Ind. Turns Out
Bodies Not In The Church
Coroner will return verdict in the Murder Suicide Case Today

BOONVILLE, Ind. -- A double funeral was held at Tennyson, this county, today when Mr. and Mrs. William Hardin, who figured in the Sunday's tragedy at that place were buried.  Nearly every resident of the little village attended the funeral services which were held at the Tennyson Methodist Episcopal Church.  The sermon by Rev. Clemons was quite lengthy but did not deal upon the rashness of the deed committed by Hardin.

The bodies of the dead were not brought to the church but were left in the undertaker's establishment near the church. After the sermon at the church, the remains were taken to the Garrison cemetery, where the two were placed side by side in the same grave.  The relatives of the slain woman were in attendance as was the daughters of the man.  The emotion was intense.
