Date: See Below Page: 1918-9 10-30-1918 One man instantly killed and another badly hurt was the culmination of a hunting trip of two Baker men Wednesday evening. F. 0. Carmichael and George McRae while in the country after ducks met with one of the most frightful accidents that has yet happened in this vicinity. The men started for the country early in the afternoon going south on the 101 road, and the accident occurred when they were returning to Baker. They were driving the big six cylinder racer and according to witnesses were traveling along at a good rate of speed. The roads are in fair condition and they got along in fine shape until within about four miles of town when in making slight turn near the Hubbard farm the car struck an 18 inch embankment and Carmichael was thrown out, striking on his head with such force as to kill him instantly. McRae, who was driving the car, was unable to control the machine and it crashed through a wire fence, breaking off two posts before it came to a standstill. In going through the fence McRae received several bad cuts about the face, the flesh being laid open to the bone in places. He took the car back to the spot where Fred was thrown out and attempted to put him in the car. George was under the impression that he was unconscious and being unable to rouse him he left him and started to town for help. He was taken to the office of Doctor Young for attention and a car containing Fred Kelling, Jack Daugherty and Peter Shishkowsky at once went out to the scene of the accident and found that Fred was dead. He was placed in the car and the body brought back to Baker and taken to the Price undertaking establishment. Dr. Young examined the body and found where the skull was crushed which he thought must have killed the young man instantly. The accident is a regrettable one as both men were pleasure bent and close friends and that the trip should have such a sad ending is keenly felt by the friends of both. Fred Carmichael has been a resident of Baker and vicinity for the past seven years. He was formerly connected with Paul Collette in the automobile business on Main street, and the past year and a half has been in business for himself, conducting the Electric Service Station and had nice business. He was united in marriage to Miss Lulu Millard June 30,1915. To this union two children were born and who with the young wife survive the deceased. Mr. Carmichael also leaves a mother, three brothers and one sister. The mother, who resides on a ranch near Sumatra, has been summoned and no funeral arrangements will be made until her arrival. The deceased was a member of the Miles City Elks, and was a man well liked and very popular with his associates. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the grief stricken wife with her fatherless children. A coroner’s inquest was held Thursday afternoon before L. S. Meyran to determine the cause of death of F. 0. Carmichael and the following verdict was rendered by the jury: “We, the jury empanelled to try the above entitled case, find that the deceased came to his death by accidentally falling from an automobile while in motion, the driver having lost control of the car. 11-5-1918 The funeral of F. 0. Carmichael was held last Saturday afternoon from the residence and the remains were interred in Bonnievale cemetery. During the funeral the business places were closed as a mark of respect for the deceased. The services were in charge of the Elks of which Fred was a member and the ceremony was very impressive. S. D. McKinnon of Miles City Lodge represented the exalted ruler and conducted the service. After the Elk service Rev. Curtis gave a short talk. The pall bearers were Wm. G. Lang, R. F. Smith, E. S. Booth, C. J. Dousman, Wm. Cassidy and J. W. Warren. Frederick Otho Carmichael, son of Wesley and Mary Carmichael, was born at Bloomington, Ind., October 30, 1881, and lived there until 1905 when he moved to Oklahoma and proved up on a homestead. In 1910 he came to Montana and has been in business in Baker since 1913. He leaves a wife and two daughters, a mother, Mrs. Mary Carmichael of Sumatra, Montana, four brothers, E. W. Carmichael, Long Beach, Cal., W. H. Carmichael, Miami, Fla., H. Carmichael, Sumatra, Montana, and Sergeant Clayton Carmichael who recently sailed for France, a sister, Mrs.F. C.

Both men were ranch hands employed on the Cross Anchor ranch in Wyoming, about 30 miles south of Alzada and while in town Friday got in to a card game over which a dispute arose and both men became quite abusive and threatening in their manners. Bystanders interferred and succeeded in pacifying the men for time, but Gillard held a grudge and left the place and purchased a Colt Automatic with which he returned and started trouble anew. Cooper evidently attempted to avoid further trouble and went out the rear door of the saloon and when he reached the back yard Gillard overtook him and began shooting. The first shot hit Cooper in the head and he dropped dead. After he was down his assailant fired two more shots, one taking effect in the neck and the other in the left shoulder. Gillard immediately gave himself up to the authorities and was placed in the county jail at Ekalaka. Monday he had a preliminary hearing before Justice E. H. Johnson at Ekalaka and was bound over to the District Court.

Corbitt Verol 16 Ag 1993 Age 85 Corey, Arthur Death: 10-24-1918 Page: 1918-8 It is with deep regret that we are again called upon to chronicle the death of another of our Webster boys. Last Thursday morning at five o’clock the spirit of Arthur Corey winged its way ‘to its maker Arthur had been ill about a week having contracted Spanish influenza, while working with a threshing crew, which rapidly developed into pneumonia causing his death. He was a strong, healthy young man and his death comes as a shock to the entire community. He was a dutiful son, kind hearted and thoughtful of the comforts of his parents and brothers and sisters, who will never cease to miss him in their family circle. He realized the seriousness of his illness yet he never complained, and as the hour of death drew near, bade his parents good bye, and assured them that he was not afraid to die, thus proving that he would have made a good soldier had he only lived to realize his highest ambitions. Arthur Corey was born at Conway, N. D., and was 20 years, 10 months and 17 days old. Beside a large circle of friends and neighbors he leaves his parents, 7 brothers and four sisters to mourn his loss. Interment took place Friday afternoon at Baker. The pall bearers were Barton White, Jack Barnes, George Haven and Lester Wolenetz. We extend the sympathy of the neighborhood to the bereaved relatives.

Death: 01-29-1921 Page: 1921-1 The many friends of the Cornish family will hear with sadness of the death of Mr. P.C. Cornish who died on January 29th at Minneapolis, Minn., after suffering for more than one year with gangrene. Mr. Cornish was born at Delavan, Minn., on August 15 1867, and attended school there. He graduated from the law college at the university of Minnesota in 1899 and practiced law at Alden until 1908, when he moved to Jackson, Minn., and practiced law there until 1910, when he came to Baker, took a homestead and opened a law office. He was married in 1894 to Miss Blanche Hall at Wells, Minn., which union was blessed with one daughter, Bonita. Mr. Cornish died on January 29th, leaving his widow, Mrs. Blanche Cornish, his daughter, Bonita, both in Minneapolis, a brother, Phil, at Lackney, Texas, and a brother Henry at Commerce, Texas, also a number of relatives in Baker and in Wells, Minn. He was buried on February 1st, at Wells Minn., and funeral services were conducted at The Methodist church by the Masonic and Odd Fellow lodges of which he was a member. Mr. Cornish was always prominent in civic and political affairs, and his advice was sought by many Fallon county citizens. Two years ago he was elected county attorney on the republican ticket, which office he held until his sickness interfered with his duties. About a year ago he contracted gangrene in his right foot and under went several operations, as it was found necessary to amputate his leg above the knee. But not even the best surgeon could prevent his demise, as his malady was too far advanced to admit of recovery. His death was very, peaceful, and not attended by any suffering. His face wore a peaceful, rested expression, and his body, tortured for nearly a year is free from pain. W. H. Young and son, County Attorney D R. Young, attended the funeral. The Times joins the community in expression of sympathy to the bereaved family. Corum Guy 16 Jy 1945 Age 61 Costlow Cynthia Adeline 24 Oc 1966 Couch Gerald Burl 21 Je 1991 Age 64 Coughlin F.
