YOUNG WOMAN FALLS IN HOUSE AND DIES
Mrs. George Carbaugh Hits Head on Table in Her Bedford Home

Special to the Tribune.
  Bedford, December 11. - Tripping over a rug in the sitting room of 
her home here this morning, Mrs. George Carbaugh fell, striking the 
back of her head against a table, inflicting a wound which caused her 
death a few moments later.  Dr. Americus Enfield was hurriedly 
summoned, but his services were of no avail, stating that death was 
almost instantaneous.
  Mr. Carbaugh had not been well for several weeks and it is thought by 
her physician that she was seized with an attack of heart trouble, 
causing the fall.  She was aged about 26 years and was Miss Nora 
Ritchey, of near Everett, before her marriage a few years ago to George 
Carbaugh, a well known young liveryman of this place.  Besides her 
husband and a small son, Harold, she is survived by her mother, Mrs. 
Sylvester Ritchey, of Everett.  The funeral arrangements have not been 
made, Mr. Carbaugh being out of town at the time of his wife's death, 
but the services will likely be hold on Wednesday.
