In the 1800s Sevilla Jones was a 17-year-old girl who was shot dead by Henry Sargent one morning as she was walking to school with her younger brother. Henry loved Sevilla, and he believed that she had “given him encouragement.” However, he had a rival in another young man, named Bartlett. Henry used a revolver to shoot Sevilla four times, killing her instantly. He then shot himself, but with less immediate success. It has been said that a doctor was fetched, but this doctor was so angry that he refused to treat Henry’s wound. Henry died hours later. What makes this horrible deed so fascinating is the Sevilla's mother made sure the history would not forget her daughter and named the murderer and his deed right on her tombstone.
The inscription on New Boston’s most notorious gravestone reads:
SEVILLA, daughter of George and Sarah JONES.
Murdered by HENRY N. SARGENT, January 13, 1854.
[At the age of] 17 years and 9 months.
Thus fell this lovely blooming daughter
By the revengeful hand – a malicious Henry
When on her way to school he met her
And with a six self-cocked pistol shot her.
