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.

Interment was in the family plot in the Ritzville cemetery, the body being laid to rest beside that of Mrs. Foley and their son David. John James Foley was born in England, March 17, 1853, and at the age of five years came to America with his parents, settling in Richland county, Wisconsin. In 1884 he was united in marriage with Cynthia Bovee at Richland Center, Wisconsin, and two sons, David and Edward F., were born to them. In 1894 the family came to Washington, settling at Ritzville, where the deceased followed his trade of carpenter for 10 years. The residence north of the Lincoln School building on the site which the deceased filed upon in the early days of the town, was built by his own hands and is one of the oldest homes in the city. In October, 1918, the home was saddened by the passing of the elder son, David, who contracted a severe case of influenza while assisting in the relief of a neighboring family who lost their home by fire. David had been almost an invalid for many years prior to his death. In the summer of 1924, after 40 years of married life, the home was broken by the passing of Mrs. Foley. Since the death of his wife the deceased had lived alone at his home on the flat, and until the last few weeks of his life, had shown a sturdy spirit of independence, making the best of circumstances in spite of the infirmaties of old age which were advancing upon him. Surviving Mr. Foley are a sister, Mrs. Martin Hall of Butte, Montana; a brother, J. F. Foley of Butte, and a son, Edward F. Foley of Seattle. Five grandchildren and five great-grand- children also mourn his passing. With the passing of Mr. Foley, one of the best loved characters of the countryside slips from the memory of countless people who were school children attending the Lincoln building between the years 1904-27. Shortly after the erection of the Lincoln School in 1904, the deceased assumed the custodianship, which post he held for 23 years. Always of a cheerful and consoling disposition, he entwined his spirit around the hearts of the school children, many of whom still live in Ritzville to regret his passing.

Ritzville Journal-Times, Thursday, February 6, 1930, issue Meets Death On Basement Steps Relatives Believe Theodore Wahl Stumbled Over Loaded Weapon-Hold He Had No Cause For Taking Own Life-Funeral Held At Lind Theodore Wahl, 26, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wahl, pioneer Adams county residents, was found dead, shot through the left temple, on the basement steps of the family home on College hill early Sunday morning. The body was discovered lying over the gun, on the stairway leading to the basement. The family is inclined to believe that since the young man had evidently no troubles or worries of any kind beyond a slight complaint of ill health on the previous Friday, that the death was due to an accident. He left no note nor gave any intimation that he intended to take his life. The family is of the opinion that Theodore arose early to go to the ranch, and wished to take the shotgun with him. It was necessary to go downstairs for the ammunition and the possibilty of the gun having been left loaded, lends credence to the accidental shooting. The full charge struck the young man in the side of the head and death was instantaneous. The body was taken to Haight mortuary parlors and the funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon from the German Congregational church at Lind, the Rev. Francke officiating. Burial was in the Lind cemetery. Theodore Wahl was born in Russia and came to America at an early age with his parents.

He was unmarried and is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wahl of Ritzville, a sister, Mrs. D. Radach of Dryden, and three brothers, Gus, William and Edward of Lind.
