They were going to visit another niece of the Rayners, Mrs. Walter Geske of Bellingham. The accident happened late in the afternoon, but in broad daylight. Rayner, according to Coroner L.S. Challacombe, who with state patrolmen investigated apparently had tried to pass another car and may have suffered a heart attack or other sudden illness. His car swerved so that it was hit virtually broadside in the southbound lane of traffic, the coroner said. The accident apparently happened with no warning and both cars were going at a high rates of speed. Both were demolished. MONROE MONITOR 9-9-1938 Mrs. J. L.

The deceased was born in a long house which stood on Third street just north of the residence of D.M. Harris and which has since been remodled. The date of her birth was October 18, 1810, so that she was 84 years of age. She was the daughter of John Alter, one of the most prominent of the pioneers of early days.

One of the old time business men of Snohomish county has passed out of this life at the age of 69 years in the person of Charles F. Rehm, for the last 15 years a resident and business man of Duvall. Few there are about here of the older set better known than he was, and none bore a better name as a good citizen, a kind neighbor and a business man of sterling qualifications. For some time Mr. Rehm was being treated at Providence hospital at Seattle where he underwent an operation and from which ordeal he had well recovered when other complications set in. He passed away at 8 o'clock Friday morning, April 3rd. The funeral was a very large one, held on Sunday from the M.E. church, Duvall with Rev. Abbott pastor officiating and also by the Elks lodge of Everett, who were in attendance in large numbers. It was one of the very large funerals of the locality and testified very fully as to the esteeem in which Mr. Rehm was held. Years ago Charlie was a resident of Monroe, being employed in the Elwell market, also for a time at Marysville. When Duvall came into being, he cast his lot with that community and became one of the substantial business men of the place. He understood the butchering and meat marketing business throughout and made a big success of it, served the Duvall community well, was honorable and just with them. Monroe sent a fine delegation to the funeral of this fine man whom we hope and trust rests in peace at the end of a long and useful life.

Snohomish County Tribune 6-17-1908 Richard RILEY, a river driver working on John Maloney's boom near Skykomish, was drowned yesterday. He stooped to pull on a cable, which was slippery. His hands slipping off, he fell backward, plunged head downward beneath the boom, and the water running swiftly carried the struggling man 1,000 feet down stream, where he was drowned in two feet of water. The man was 47 years old. His father, Richard Riley, resides at Kalamazoo, Mich. He has been telegraphed as was John Franigan of Union City, Mason county, Wash. Until instructions are received the body will be held at the Bakeman & Purdy undertaking Parlors in this city, where funeral services were held by Rev. Father Vander Walle, of St. Michael's Catholic church at 9:30 o'clock this morning. The body of the drowned man was accompanied here by a number of prominent business men of Skykomish, who spoke highly of him and expressed regret at the loss of a friend. Everett Daily Herald 5-8-1902 Snohomish May 8- This community was startled early this morning by news from the Snohomish Logging company's camp that another appalling accident had occurred on their tram railway leading down the steep incline to the log camp south of town. The Herald reporter and three other parties started for the scene of the disaster on their wheels, and arriving for the point of the disaster, which proved to be at the foot of the hill where the high trestle leads from the Cathcart road across the marsh level this side. After coming in sight of the wreck, another logging engine was discovered coming down the steep grade, and in a moment more it was down the steep grade, and piled on top of the other engline-an immense cloud of steam arising instantaneously from the mass of debris piled in the ravine. On arriving at the spot it was discovered that Engineer Bakeman, on the second engine and the fireman had escaped injury by jumping when they saw the inevitable disaster awaiting them ahead, and they luckily escaped with slight scars or bruses. The first engine had come down with a train of loaded cars, five in number. and the engine is supposed to have jumped the track, or the rails have spread, the coupling breaking letting the cars run on ahead, while the engine crashed through the trestle into the marsh 20 feet below and at the same point that a train ran off a year ago. The engineer, M.J. RILEY was buried beneath the engine, killing him instantly, and also scalding and inflicting such injuries upon A.L. Kittle, a brakeman, that he has since died. The third man, a scaler for the Seattle Cedar company, Frank Tomlinson, of Ballard, being least hurt of all, and who was this p.m. sent to Seattle hospital. The primary cause of the accident seems to have been a greased track on the down grade, or a failure of the brake to work, and the extra strain that spread the rails and threw the engine upon the ties and from thence to the ground below. The wreck is a fearful scene of destruction and crowds have been visiting it all day. Engineer Riley's family lives in Evertt, on Norton ave, and Tomlinson's home is at Ballard. OBITUARY 1-23-1923 Post #10 Snohomish Comrade David E. RITCHEY on Jan. 23, 1923 was summoned at noon day by our Supreme Commander, from the Veteran?s Home at Port Orchard to join the great majority of our comrades on the eternal camping ground. His marches, the toils and the cares the joys and sorrows of this time world are ended. And it gives his remaining comrades feelings of sadness to know that our comrade, whom we so highly esteemed for his sterling qualities of mind and heart, can be with us no more to cheer us by his genial comradeship as we journey along life?s uneven pathway. Our high respect, our love, for our departed comrade can never die. Though a native of the Emerald Isle, our county became his country; our flag, the emblem of Liberty, his flag for which he offered his life for its preservation and perpetuity. His service for our country was in Co. C. 33rd ILL. Infantry. He was not only Loyal as a citizen but was loyal as a comrade and a friend. As a member of Morton Post he was dependable for any work or position to which he might be assigned. Among the other duties to which the Post called him was that of Post Commander, which position he filled with credit to himself and the satisfaction of the comrades of the Post. In civil life he was not a drone but ever active and persevering, believing that there was a job for him if he had the courage and energy to look for it. Prompted by this thought he applied successfully for work on a boat on Lake Michigan. He advanced to the position of captain on a steamer, which position he held for a number of years. Quitting the sailor?s life he engaged in farming. He joined Morton Post, November 26, 1904, for which he never lost his attachment, though for years could attend the Post meetings but seldom. The comrades of Morton Post extend our sympathies to his daughter Mrs. T. DUBUQUE and his sons in their great loss of a good father. It is ordered that our post charter be draped in mourning in memory of Comrade RITCHEY, and also that a copy be place on file on post archives. H.G. York Adj. O. Blake Comm.

RUSSELL was born in the State of Vermont May 6 1844, and died Jan, 27 1927, aged 82 years, 8 months and 21 days. In early life with his parents his residence was transferred to Wisconsin. He was of Scotch descent, his parents having emigrated from Scotland to the U.S. On Sept, 18, 1861, Comrade RUSSELL responded to the call of his country, enlisting as a private in Co. F, 1st Wis. Cavalry, and endured the privations, hardships and service with that regiment until Oct., 1864 when he as honorable discharged. During its first year?s service the regiment was in the Western Dept. under General Custer. It was then transferred to the Army of TN under General Thomas continuing under his command. In the same regiment was Col. J.A. BAKER, formerly of near Snohomish and a member of Morton Post, but later of John Buford Post of Everett, until called by death, and in the same regiment was W. BAKER, a brother of J.A., who was our department commander in 1926-27. It was these comrades' delight to speak of the patriotism and the true comradship of their comrade, James H. RUSSELL. Soon after, he became a resident of Snohomish. In 1901 he became a member of Morton Post which membership continued until the Messenger called him hence. During his membership he served the post efficiently and satisfactorily as commander and in various other official capacities. For many consecutive years he was on the board of trustees of the G.A.R. Cemetery Association, which position he held until the serious illness of Mrs. RUSSELL made it necessary, much to his regret, to leave Snohomish when he tendered his resignation as trustee. He was not only trustee in name, but a a trustee worth of the name, as his interest in the cemetery never flagged. By his watchful care he did much to contribute to its upkeep and success. It was not with him a question of convenience to discharge the duties which he assumed in becoming trustee but rather of conscientious fidelity. The cemetery association and the community owe much to the efforts of Comrade RUSSELL to have the G.A.R. cemetery kept in such conditions as would be creditable to the association and also the community. Interment will be at G.A.R. cemetery. James RUSSELL died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Barnett, at Melba, Id. Mr. RUSSELL went to Ca, later going to Id. The body will arrive at C.H.
