“OSCAR HARLAN DIES FROM THE INJURIES RECEIVED IN RAILROAD WRECK AT CARTERS.
Word has been received in this city to the effect that Oscar Harlan died the 
evening following the accident Monday morning in the railroad yards at Carters 
in Tuolumne county, when he was badly injured.  No particulars can be learned 
as to how he was injured but it is supposed that he was switching and in some 
manner was run over.
Oscar Harlan was a young man about 27 years of age and was raised here in 
Visalia, where he received his education.  He was a son of the late A[lbert]. 
P. Harlan, the painter, who died here several months ago.  After he left school 
he worked with his father here, but later went to Oakland, where he went to 
work for the railroad company.  He followed that work until the time of his 
death.  He was well liked by all who knew him and was always industrious.  To 
mourn his death he leaves a widowed mother, Mrs. Maggie Harlan, a sister, Miss 
Beatrice Harlan, and three brothers, Harold, John and Henry.  All live in this 
county [Tulare] with the exception of Henry, who is traveling for an Oregon 
wholesale house.
The remains were ordered shipped to San Lorenzo [Alameda County], where the 
father of the deceased was buried and also his grandfather [Jacob Wright 
Harlan].  Mrs. Harlan and children have gone to San Lorenzo to attend the 
funeral.” END
