A One-Name Study for the BARNUM/BARNHAM Surname
From the Daily Inter Lake, Kalispell, Montana, Tuesday, April 2, 1946: Mrs. G. E. Barnum was killed in an automobile accident Monday evening near Pierre, South Dakota and Mr. Barnum is in the hospital there. The Barnums had lived in Bozeman for about 12 years but were old-time residents of the Flathead making their farm home east of the Flathead River. They visited in Kalispell about two weeks ago and were on their way to Battle Creek, Michigan to visit a son. Mrs. Barnum was sleeping in the back seat of the car and Mr. Barnum was driving. The accident occurred at night when they met a truck and in turning out the car got on a soft shoulder of the road and overturned. Mrs. Barnum was 74 years of age and had not been in good health for some time. There are five children: Mrs. Ethan Ford of Sidney, Montana; Donald Barnum of Belton and Dick Barnum of Kalispell, who left by car today; Harold Barnum of Battle Creek, Michigan who is flying to Pierre, and Frank Barnum, who lives near Bozeman and arrived in Pierre this morning.
Mr. Barnum’s condition is considered favorable unless a former heart condition causes trouble.
