| 128 |  | Lewis Alphonso Carlson obituary 18 April 1918 HE GAVE HIS ALL FOR HIS COUNTRY Lewis A. Carlson, who was in Government service with the Aviation section, signal corps, Kelly Field, South San Antonio, Texas, died April 18. The body was brought to Randolph arriving here Monday in charge of Sergeant Simpson B. Smith. Funeral service were held in the Methodist church yesterday afternoon, conducted by the pastor, Rev. R. Gano, assisted by Rev. Perry Cedarhold pastor of the Rose Hill church and Rev. Frank Carlson, now of Fairfield, Conn., a brother of the deceased. Special music was furnished by the High School chorus. As Alfonso was the first Randolph boy to die in the service of his country, whose body was brought here for burial, there was a large attendance at the funeral, and most of the stores and business houses were closed during the funeral hour. Interment was in the Rose Hill Cemetery. Lewis Alfonso Carlson was born in Wahoo, Nebr., May 10, 1998. At the early age of five years this young child was left fatherless. Mr. Carlson having met his death in a railway accident. The next year, in company with his mother and brother, found him planting his feet upon Kansas soil claiming as his home the little farm north of Randolph. Keeping closely in touch with the spirit of the times in which he lived, yearning for the advantages of a higher mental learning at the age of 19 years he entered a business college in Abilene, Kansas. It was during his study in that city that he felt the higher calling to a better life. To this call he surrendered to his Heavenly Father and united with the Methodist Episcopal church of Abilene. During these years he has proven himself true to his Master and to his church, being a member of the Ada Methodist Episcopal Church at the time of his death. After leaving college he began a career in the business world having been in the employ of several different mercantile companies in Kansas and Nebraska. So well did he please his employers and so earnestly did he labor for the success of his firm as well as himself that during the last eight months of his business life he was made traveling salesman for one of the companies. As time passed by and our country was plunged into this great struggle for freedom and justice, Alfonso again heard a call, coming this time from his country to which he responded Dec. 6, 1917. He was first sent to Ft. Logan, Colo., then was transferred to the training camp at San Antonio, Texas, where he met his death, seemingly of heart disease while in bathing in the Medina river near the camp in the early evening of April 18, 1019. He is survived by his parents Mr. and Mrs. Godfrey Carlson and his two brothers Frank and Waldon and numerous other relatives and very close friends. Our loss is his coronation. God again has called. True to the spirit of his life again he responds. That true loving patriotic spirit God will honour. The following special to the Enterprise from the publicity bureau Kelley Field, Texas, gives the official account of Mr. Carlson's death. Corporal Lewis A. Carlson, 30 years old, of Randolph, Kansas, stationed with the Aviation section, signal corps, Kelley Field, San Antonio, Texas, was accidentally drowned on Thursday afternoon, April 18 in Medina river, six miles from camp. Accompanied by sixty other soldiers connected with Construction Detachment Headquarters, First Training Brigade to which he was attached Carlson went out to the river for a swim immediately after supper. They boarded several trucks and journeyed down as they had done on various other occasions. Carlson was a very good swimmer and no one paid any particular attention to him until after the soldiers were ready to depart one of them spied a bundle of clothes near shore. Up to this time he had not been missed and inquiry and a search of the clothes established hi identity. His body was found in six foot water lying on the bottom the position indicating that death was probably due to heart failure. As no one heard any cries, or saw him struggling in the water it is not believed by his companions that he suffered any cramp, but that natural causes led to his untimely end. For some time past, Carlson was apparently not in the best of health as he fainted a couple of times during the past few weeks. The body was shipped home Friday evening in charge of Sergeant Simpson Smith, who was a personal friend of the deceased. Lewis A. Carlson was born in Wahoo, Nebr., May 10, 1887. He resided in Randolph, Kansas an enlisted at Fort Logan, Colo., Dec. 11, 1917. He served as a clerk and his first assignment was with the 327th Aero Squadron, from which he was transferred to the Construction Detachment where he was stationed to the time of his death. He was promoted to the rank of Corporal March 1, 1918. Carlson took out a war risk insurance of $10,000 which will be paid to his mother, Emma Caroline Carlson, of Randolph, Kansas. | ||

| 131 |  | Murders of Percy and Gertrude Cota A Former Blue Rapids Girl Killed in Wyoming Mrs. Percy Cota and Husband Murdered at Ranch Home July 2, Near Laramie, Wyo Mr. and Mrs. Percy Cota, Laramie, Wyo., were shot and instantly killed at their ranch home near Laramie Friday night, July 2. Mrs. Cota was the former Gertrude Jewell, Blue Rapids, where she was born and reared. For 13 years she was a teacher in Marshall county rural schools. The couple were found dead the morning of July 3 by Charles Johnson, foreman of a neighboring ranch. Mrs. Cota had been shot through the head and her husband through the throat. Their bodies had been dragged by the feet from the doorway of their home to a garage 100 feet away and thrown together beside the wooden building. A short piece of rope was knotted about Mrs. Cota’s throat. The couple apparenlty were killed the night before, on their return from a grocery shopping trip to the Tie Siding store at Dale Creek, small depot on the Union Pacific railroad. Cota drove to Laramie July 2 to get his wife, who had been attending summer school for teachers at Wyoming university. Together they started home and stopped at the Tie Siding store. They had carried one load of groceries from their car into their house and were shot as they went back to their car for the rest of the purchases. Their killer apparently had stolen into the house after Cota left for Laramie and lurked there awaiting their return. A meal had been eaten in the Cota’s kitchen and one bed looked as if someone had slept on it for short time. Nothing of value apparently had been taken from the home. Two empty .32 shells lay near the front door. Near the bodies was a man’s green sock in which were found about 30 loaded .32 shells. Johnson had gone to the Cota ranch after he found the Cota’s coupe – blood on one running board – bogged down in a mudhole on a country road a few miles from the ranch. Sheriff Ed A. Wood, Laramie, theorized that the killer drove away from the ranch in the coupe, got on a road that grew smaller as he drove, tried to turn around, got stuck in the mudhole, then fled on foot. After an intensive search by police officers and ranchmen, first degree murder charged were filed July 6 at Cheyenne against Howard W. Pichell, 24, alias Pickell, ex-convict from New York, who was jailed at Cheyenne as Wyoming’s mad triple killer. Pichell is believed to be the man who also killed Matt Katmo, 44, Cheyenne war worker, June 30, in a mountain camp ground near Laramie. Katmo was killed and his companion, Mrs. O. W. Larson, Laramie, was beaten and her hands tied by a man who accosted them as they stepped out of Katmo’s car to pick some flowers. Mrs. Cota was married in 1915 to Al E. Hanson and moved from Blue Rapids to Green River, Wyo., where her husband was express agent for the Union Pacific. Later the family moved to Laramie and a son, Jean, was born. When then son was 10 years old, he and his mother were walking along a Laramie business street when the boy slumped to the sidewalk. He was rushed to a hospital, where it was learned that a rifle bullet had penetrated his abdomen and he soon died. It was later learned that a boy, cleaning a rifle in a second-story barber shop, accidentally discharged the rifle that sent the bullet into the child’s body. Three months after her son’s death, Mrs. Hanson’s husband died on the operating table, while undergoing a major operation. After the death of her son and husband, she returned to teaching and four years ago married Percy Cota. | ||
