Three Meet Death
as Auto Overturns Near Roseville – Others Injured When Car Beyond
Control Is Hurtled Up an Embankment
An automobile
accident that proved to be a tragedy occurred on Sunday on the highway
between Roseville and Sylvan when a triple death resulted. The persons
killed were a Mexican mother, Mrs. Modeste Tovias, her five months’ old
baby, and her small son. The mother died instantly while the others
lingered longer. There were twelve persons in the car at the time. G.
Pereida of Newcastle was the driver. He sustained a fractured hip, and
other members of the party were also injured. The driver had with him at
the time the accident occurred Mr. and Mrs. Tovias and their eight
children and Antonio Valencia. The explanation for the cause of the
accident is that the driver, while passing friends on the road, lifted
his hand to wave in greeting. The driver suddenly found himself on the
wrong side of the road and in trying to right the car, it skidded and
turned over. The body of Mrs. Tovias was taken to the Broyer and Magner
Chapel but was later moved to Sacramento where the family resided. The
party was enroute from Sacramento to Newcastle. An inquest will be held
this evening at the chapel. [Roseville Tribune and Register,

WATKINS, ANDREW
Died—In this
city of dysentery, Capt. Andrew Watkins, aged about 38 years. He was
buried by his friends under the broad and sweeping branches of a huge
oak, just beyond and to the eastward of Sutter’s Fort. This spot will be
as a sacred place to which the thoughts will oft-times wander, lingering
about this his last sad resting place with a saddened though sweet
memory. He was an inestimable and firm friend, an instructive and
pleasant companion and a true gentleman, proverbially honest; he was
always firm and undeviating in the furtherance of what he conceived to
be a master of truth and justice; he was a keen observer of human nature
in all its many bold and subtle windings, seldom failing in his estimate
of character; he was a benevolent, kind and a truly honest man, both in
thought and deed. Peace to his memory. Rest, friend, rest—thy toils are
over. Fond hearts far o’er the deep thy loss deplore. [Placer Times,
