Pioneer Ritzville Couple Are Killed in California
Mr. and Mrs. C. H. B. Carlson Meet Death In Auto Crash While Sightseeing In Company With Son-In-Law And Daughter
Mr. and Mrs. C. H. B. Carlson, Ritzville pioneers, were instantly killed, and their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Clark, with whom they were riding, were injured, in an automobile wreck Sunday afternoon at Monrovia, California.
According to the meager details received here, the Clarks had Mr. and Mrs. Carlson out sightseeing, when Clark made a left turn in the highway. His car was struck by another and the older couple, who were riding in the rear seat, were not thrown out, being either killed by the impact or shock of the accident. Both Mr. and Mrs. Clark were thrown from their car and, due to their injuries, relatives here were not made aware of the accident until press dispatches to a Spokane paper caused them to phone here for local history of the Carlsons.
Mr. and Mrs. Carlson, who were 75 and 68 respectively, had been in California since before Christmas, going down with another son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Morach. The latter
returned home, leaving the parents to spend the winter in the south.
Word recieved here states than an inquest was held Tuesday, and Mr. Clark exonerated from blame of the accident. The bodies are to be shipped to Ritzville, but funeral arrangements have not been completed.
Mr. Carlson owns 2,000 acres of land between Ritzville and the Lincoln county line and retired from active farming a number of years ago. He was considered well to do. In November of 1928, Mr. and Mrs. Carlson celebrated their golden wedding anniversary.
They are survived by seven daughters as follows: Mrs. Roy Helme, Long Beach, Cal.; Mrs. Arthur Borowiak, Ritzville; Mrs. H. E. Frederickson, Cashmere; Mrs. Carl Rosenoff, Spokane; Mrs. C. B. Clark, Los Angeles; Mrs. Walter Morach, Ritzville; Mrs. Jack Krage, Ritzville.
