| - The Rock Road massacre, also known as the Farwell murders or Clare County murders, was a 1982 mass murder in which seven members of the George W. Post family, four adults and three children, were killed with a shotgun, a rifle, and a handgun at a farmhouse on Rock Road in Garfield Township just west of Farwell, Michigan. Robert Lee Haggart, a 32-year-old livestock auctioneer, was convicted of the murders. The murders occurred on the day before a court hearing to finalize Haggart's divorce from one of the victims, Garnetta (Ronning) Haggart. In December 1982, the Associated Press (AP) included the Post family murders at No. 3 on its list of the most important news stories in Michigan during 1982. As of 2022, the massacre still ranked as the third-largest mass murder in Michigan history, after the 1927 Bath School disaster and the 1971 Hazelwood massacre. (en)
