The Saddest of Accidents****
The lamented death of Mrs. C. F. Irish at her home near Georgetown last Monday morning was the result of a fearful accident the previous evening. Returning from town with her husband who was driving a young horse, when near their home the animal took fright on a bridge over the side of which they were thrown upon a pile of rough and angular rocks. Mrs. Irish being on the side of the upset was most fearfully injured. Her left arm was broken in two pieces and her face and head lacerated almost beyond recognition. Although his fall was broken by some brush, the husband was also badly, but not dangerously bruised and stunned.
But quickly realizing what had happened and that his wife was fatally injured, he hastened for help by which she was soon removed to her home not far from the scene of the accident. Drs. Hickman of Georgetown and McLean of Placerville were summoned and every assistance rendered, but the unfortunate woman never recovered consciousness and died at 9 o'clock the next morning.
Mrs. Irish was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. Arvidson of this city and sister of Mrs. Lena Etzel and Miss Jennie Arvidson. She also leaves two brothers, Harry and Charles, and three motherless sons, the oldest of whom is about eleven years of age. As Miss Anna Arvidson she was a well known high-grade teacher in the public schools of this city and county. The shadow that casts its gloom over Georgetown has saddened many hearts and homes. The funeral Wednesday was conducted by Rev. Edw. P. F. Dearborn and was attended by many people from
Placerville.
