      Slippery Road And Determined Cow Cause Death of View Farmer.

  While driving past the C. H. Burgess ranch at View, Alma Larsen, who had 
been helping on the View pipe line and was on his way home to lunch, met with 
an accident which resulted in his death.
  It seems that a cow crossed the road in head of the car and the driver did 
not see the cow turn abruptly to recross the road therefore he was not able to 
avoid hitting the cow and upsetting the car. The weight of the car fell on the 
head of the driver and neighbors came immediately and removed the car. A 
doctor was called and Mr. Larsen was taken to the hospital where everything 
was done to save his life.
  The head and chest of the victim was badly cut and broken, death likely 
coming as the result of internal injuries at 7:30 p.m. that evening.
 The deceased was born at Fairview, Sanpete county, Utah, February 21, 1866. 
He was engaged in farming there. Married Annie Wrigley about 32 years ago and 
moved to View 13 years ago where he has lived since.
  Besides the wife there are five children to mourn the loss of husband,father 
and friend.
  The children are Mrs. Henry Schmidt, Mrs. Roy G. Bailey, Mrs. Clyde 
Mitchell, Earl W. and Sidney Larsen.
  Services were held at View at 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, November 24th. The body 
was shipped to American Fork, Utah, for burial.
