      Charles C Hibbs hung himself in his barn, because his wife was running around on him.
      I was told this by my father Ernest Ray Hibbs. Charles was his grandfather.

      Melissa C Hibbs was mentioned in Charles' estate settlement. The fact that she may have been a daughter-in-law is not established in the settlement.
