Mr. Tiberghien was on his way home from Chillicothe and was drivingalone in a buggy. So m e where in the bottoms his team became frightenedand ran. No one saw the beginning of th e r unaway. Tiberghien was thrown out and his body mixed up in the wheels orbetween them in some wa y . When his team passed George Mast , aneighbor, on the road, he saw Mr.. Tiberghien unde r , the buggy. This team passed Tiberghien's home . A mile further on the road hisdaughter saw the te a m running by and saw her father mixed up in thewheels. She ran out in the road and foun d p ieces of her father'sblood-stained coat and shirt. She then went to Springhill for aid. The team ran to the first crossroads and turned west. Tiberghien'sbody was finally thro w n against the fence, where it was found shortlyafterward. It was evident that he was dea d l ong before he was thrownagainst the fence. His body was terribly torn and bruised, and o n e sideof his face was entirely gone. Tiberghien lived about three miles southeast of Springhill. He wasabout 70 years old. The funeral of the late Leo Tiberghien , whose unfortunate death in arunaway was announc e d in Saturday's Constitution, was held from thefamily residence Sunday afternoon at thre e o 'clock near Graham's mill. The few words together with the Masonic rites were conducted by Elder J. E. Pardonner, Interment wasmade in the famil y l ot on the farm. The funeral was one of the mostlargely attended in the county. The deceased was nearly seventy-one years of age. He possessed thedistinction of being th e oldest Mason in the north west of Livingstoncounty. He was a pioneer citizen of this count y and was well knownthroughout the north part of Missouri. Five children survive their parents death, one girl and four boys.They are Miss Duck Tiber ghien and W. L., J. B.., J. S., and F. M.Tiberghien, all of whom live near Springhill. A peculiar instance in the run-away, in which Mr. Tiberghein lost hislife, was the fac t t hat the horses ran past the house and circledaround, dragging the inanimate body to the s po t where it was eventuallyburied, The members of the family are prostrated over the suddenness of theirfather's untimely d e ath. He had been repeatedly warned not to drive theyoung team, but he had always insiste d t hat he was able to managethem. The manner which the horses became frightened is still i n d oubt.It was reported that they became frightened at a camp near Graham'smill, but the me m bers of the party deny the statement and say that theteam went past the location of the te n t in a walk. When the body of the dead farmer was taken from under the wheels ofthe buggy, in whic h h e had been driving, the clothing from the waistupward had been entirely stripped from i t an d the lacerations of theflesh were horrible. !RESEARCH: Leo Tiberchein may be in KS for the 1860 census.
