Barnard Madden1

b. 17 March 1822, d. 17 March 1891
Family
Birth*17 March 1822Barnard Madden was born on 17 March 1822 in Ireland.1 
Name VariationHe was called Barney.1,2 
Civil War (U.S.)*He enlisted in the Union Army at the beginning of the Civil War and served as a Private in Company K of the 33rd New York Infantry Regiment.1 
Marriage*12 August 1869He married Mary Ann Burroughs on 12 August 1869 in Union County, Ohio.1,3,2 
Death*17 March 1891He committed suicide, at age 69, by hanging himself in his wood-shed on 17 March 1891 in Van Wert County, Ohio. The newspaper reported he had been drunk for several days.1 
Illness*The Van Wert Times of 20 March 1891 published an account of the weakened health and war injuries Barney had suffered from for many years, and we thank his Find a Grave memorial page for including the information, which they tell us has been edited, and which we share, "He was physically weak and afflicted, being unable to work hard, and yet he was disposed to be industrious. He was always quiet and inoffensive. His health had been undermined while in the service and he had also received a number of wounds. The government denied him a pension because of a lack of proof, there being none of his company nearby to furnish him aid in support of his claim. The poor man was assisted by the Van Wert county soldiers' relief commission for whatever amount it was empowered to bestow."1

Name VariationShe was called Jennie.2 
Marriage*16 January 1879She married, as his third wife, Wiliam F. Hurlbutt, son of Joseph B. Hurlbutt and Abigail Peirce, on 16 January 1879 in Buchanan, Berrien County, Michigan.2 
Deathbefore 5 June 1880She died at about age 20 in Buchanan, Michigan, before 5 June 1880, the date her husband was enumerated as a widower on the 1880 census. Only his 3-year-old daughter from his second marriage, and his 72-year-old mother, were with him.11 
(Deceased) Research Notes9 April 1903Her former husband, Wiliam F. Hurlbutt, was interviewed by a Buchanan, Michigan newspaper for a feature article published by The Niles Daily Star, Niles, Berrien County, Michigan, on 9 April 1903 under the headlines, "Marriage a Success" and "Views of Michigan Man Who Has Had Six Wives". (We note that Wiliam had married his seventh wife, Nellie (Daugherty) Vincent Hurlbutt, on 27 June 1901, two years before this interview.) In a light-hearted style, the article began by stating that after having escaped the shot and shell of some of the fiercest battles of the civil war, a Michigan veteran came home only to have fired at him six effectual shafts from Cupid's bow, and was at that time living with his sixth wife in Buchanan. It stated that Wiliam F. Hurlbutt is the name of the man who had, within a period of 34 years, capitulated a half dozen times to the little winged god.

Hurlbutt was then but 56 years old. He was a month less than 14 years old when he went in the Union army and was first married the year after the close of the war, in 1866. He was next married in 1870, and again in 1879, 1881 and 1902.

He was quoted as saying, "I believe in the wedded state," when spoken to concerning his record. "Children were born to me and I considered it my duty to keep them under a mother's care. None of my wives came to me as a result of a long courtship, although I met my first wife while I was at home from the war on a furlough. I do not believe in spending a long time in finding out whether I love a woman or whether she loves me; all that a man who really wants a wife who is well suited to him need do is to have a frank and serious talk before the marriage and before it is too late. Little heart to heart conferences throw a flood of light ahead.

" Have my marriages brought me happiness? An average amount, yes. I have always been a home man; I have tried to spend my evenings by my own fireside.

"Which wife did I like best? You must not expect me to answer such a question. The memory of the dead is sacred; I loved them all.

"I believe in taking the wife along wherever the husband goes; I have always found a deal of pleasure in that custom."

The journalist wrote that one odd feature of Hurlbutt's married life is that he secured four of his wives from two families, taking two sisters, one after the other in one family and repeating the experience in another.12 
(Deceased) Domestic Abuse2 June 1903 On 2 June 1903, a disturbing article was published in The Saginaw Courier-Herald of Saginaw, Michigan about Jennie's former husband, Wiliam F. Hurlbutt of Buchanan, Michigan, and his many wives. Under the titles, "Abused His Wife as She Lay Dying" and "Citizens Make Charges of Gross Cruelty Against W. F. Hurlbutt of Niles", the newspaper, forwarding the story from Niles, Michigan on May 30, reported that the town of Buchanan, five miles to the west, was greatly aroused over the action of Wiliam F. Hurlbutt, a mason by trade, a so-called portable matrimonial bureau by profession, and an alleged tyrant by nature. The story reported he had been married seven times, that five of the women were dead, another was living in South Bend, Indiana while his present wife was lying at the point of death in the family home.

"Buchanan was stirred, as she rarely is, at the actions of Hurlbutt the other night." The account reported that his wife was lying on the couch, the victim of pneumonia, heart trouble, and a complication of other ailments, and that the physicians in attendance had little hope for her chances of recovery, placing them as one against a thousand. Hurlbutt came home in the evening, under the influence of liquor, and started in to abuse the poor woman saying, "Why don't you die; you are a nuisance and expense to me." He then turned his tongue on the others in the household, and the neighbors were attracted by the "racket. A miniature indignation meeting was held, the marshal was sent for and he finally succeeded in restoring quiet.

The article went on to report that Hurlbutt's varied matrimonial experiences had been the topic of household discussions in Buchanan for a long time and that, strangely enough, his wives had died with striking regularity. One, then living in South Bend, Indiana, Mary E. Phillips, she having assumed her prior married name, was credited with saying that Hurlbutt would have sent her to her grave if she had continued to live with him. Some of Hurlbutt's matrimonial alliances had been brought about through the aid of a matrimonial bureau, and he had married the woman who was then critically ill three months after the death of her predecessor.13

Hurlbutt is the name of the man who has, within a period of 34 years, capitulated a half dozen times to the little winged god; that Hurlbutt is now but 56 years old; that he was a month less than 14 years old when he went in the Union army and was first married the year after the close of the war, in 1866; that he was next married in 1870, and again in 1879, 1881 and 1902; that he was quoted as saying, "I believe in the wedded state," when spoken to concerning the record; "Children were born to me and I considered it my duty to keep them under a mother's care; "None of my wives came to me as a result of a long courtship, although I met my first wife while I was at home from the war on a furlough; "I do not believe in spending a long time in finding out whether I love a woman or whether she loves me; all that a man who really wants a wife who is well suited to him need do is to have a frank and serious talk before the marriage and before it is too late; "Little heart to heart conferences throw a flood of light ahead; "Have my marriages brought me happiness? An average amount, yes; I have always been a home man; I have tried to spend my evenings by my own fireside; "Which wife did I like best? You must not expect me to answer such a question; The memory of the dead is sacred; I loved them all; "I believe in taking the wife along wherever the husband goes; I have always found a deal of pleasure in that custom"; that one odd feature of Hurlbutt's married life is that he secured four of his wives from two families, taking two sisters, one after the other in one family and repeating the experience in another.
