RACKERBY, WIRT

Sacramento Bee - January 18, 1905 - MARYSVILLE, January 18 – Wirt RACKERBY, son of Col. W.M. RACKERBY, was drowned this morning in Honcut Creek, the stage he was driving going off the grade in the flood and darkness just after the new bridge had been crossed. One of the horses was also drowned. No details of the accident have yet been received here, and, in fact, there will be little more to tell, as there were no passengers on the stage, which left here for La Porte, in Plumas County, at a very early hour this morning. - The grade at the point where the stage went off is quite narrow, and driving through the water before it was full daylight was a dangerous undertaking even for one well acquainted with the road. (R.T.)

RAISH, CHARLES

Daily Appeal - 9/10/1904, p1 - A Respected Citizen - Charles Raish, Resident of Marysville for Half a Century - Charles Raish, the well known blacksmith, arrived in Marysville fifty-two years ago today from Beloit, Wis.  He came across the plains with an ox team the trip occupying five months, and he has been a resident of this city ever since. - He has worked at blacksmithing continuously from 1844 to the present time, a period of sixty years, except for the few months that were taken up in crossing the plains, and during this time he occasionally did some work while en route. - He was born in Covington, Lusern [sic] county, Pa., and on June 26th last was 76 years of age.  He has been a respected resident of Marysville ever since his arrival in pioneer days. - Mr. Raish was married in this city, his wife's maiden name being Elizabeth E. Dole.  There are three daughters and a son in the family, Mrs. W. F. Cunningham of San Leandro, Mrs. D. B. Fowler of Madera, Edna Raish, the youngest of the family, who resides at home, and Police Judge Ralph Raish, also of this city.

Daily Appeal - 2/27/1910, p1&8 - Charles Raish Is Killed By Train:  Run Down by Southern Pacific Locomotive On the Feather River Trestle - Charles Raish, a pioneer blacksmith and wagon maker of this city, was run down by a southbound Southern Pacific passenger train on the Feather river trestle yesterday afternoon about 1:40 o'clock and fatally injured.  He was removed to his home at Eighth and D streets in this city, where he died from internal injuries at 4:30 o'clock. - The deceased had spent the morning cutting the grass and cleaning up the yard about his D street home and in the afternoon decided to take a walk over to Yuba City and chose the Southern Pacific grade and trestle as the route.  He was walking along the trestle leisurely when he suddenly discovered the approaching train.  He endeavored to reach one of the small platforms on the side of the trestle as a place of safety, but he was unable and was struck in the back and hurled from the trestle to the ground below, a distance of about eight or ten feet.  The train was stopped at once by Engineer Jardine and the injured man was placed aboard and conveyed to the depot at Yuba City.  Although he complained of a severe pain in the mack [sic] it was not thought that his injuries were of a very serious nature.  He was placed in a cab and conveyed to his home in this city where he was attended by Dr. J. H. Barr.  His condition gradually developed for the worse until the end came about 4:30 o'clock. - The train was No. 21, known as the Sacramento-Oroville local, and was in charge of Conductor Charles Englerock, while Engineer Jardine was handling the throttle on the engine.  Engineer Jardine observed the man walking on the trestle and after he tooted his whistle naturally thought that he would step off on one of the platforms to a place of safety.  Mr. Raish evidently became badly frightened and confused and was unable to make any progress in his movements to reach a place of safety, for he certainly had ample time according to the statements of those who witnessed the terrible accident, to make his escape. - The deceased was a native of Scranton, Pa., and aged 81 years, 8 months and 4 days and is survived by a wife, Elizabeth G. Raish, three daughters, Mrs. William Cunningham of San Leandro, Mrs. D. B. Fowler of Madera, and Miss Edna Raish of Marysville; also one son, Attorney R. R. Raish of this city. - Mr. Raish came to this city about fifty years ago and engaged in the blacksmithing and wagon-making business and for many years conducted an establishment of that kind on Third street between C and D.  He was well known and highly respected, being an upright man in all his business dealings and one always ready to lend an aiding hand to a friend. - He was a member of Yuba Lodge, F. & A. M., and of Marysville Commandery, Knights Templar.  He was probably one of the oldest Masons in the country, having become a member of the Masonic order at Belotym, Wisconsin, in 1840. - Kelly Bros. have taken charge of the body and the funeral arrangements will be made later.  An inquest will be held Monday by Coroner Kelly.

Daily Appeal - 3/2/1910, p1&8 - Charles Raish Laid To Rest In Grave: Pioneer of Marysville Died As He Had Lived, Loved, Honored and Respected. - The tolling of the fire bell in the tower of the City Hall yesterday afternoon was the announcement of the funeral of the late Charles Raish.  The somber tones of the big bell caused a feeling of sadness to pervade the community as they thought of the good neighbor, kind friend, excellent citizen, honored pioneer who had met with such a sad and tragic death when run down and killed by a locomotive on the Feather river trestle on Saturday.  He was known to every man, woman and child in Marysville, and all who knew him respected him for his noble qualities, his goodness of heart, his loyalty to his home, and his sterling worth as a peaceable, God-fearing, law-abiding citizen. - He had lived in Marysville so long that he was an encyclopedia so far as the city's history was concerned.  In his younger days he served with the volunteer fire department and served the city in several official positions. - He was about one of the oldest members of the Masonic fraternity in the State, having joined the order at Belotym, Wisconsin, over sixty years ago. - Yuba Lodge No. 39, F. & A. M., took charge of the funeral yesterday and they were assisted by Marysville Commandery.  There was a large attendance of the brothers of the order, relatives, neighbors and friends present during the holding of the ritualistic exercises at the Masonic Temple, which was conducted by W. M. William Loehne, assisted by the officers of the lodge.  Masonic rites were also conducted by the brethren at the grave, where each deposited on the coffin a spring of acacia.  The floral offerings were many and beautiful, mute but touching evidence of the esteem in which the deceased was held by those who will soon follow him to that above from which there is no escape, the common lot of all who live. - The pallbearers were Conrad Schuler, John Peffer, John Onstott, Peter Engel, C. A. Barnes and C. F. Palm. - Charles Raish was a native of Scranton, Pa., aged 81 years, 8 months and 4 days, and is survived by a wife, Elizabeth G. Raish, three daughters, Mrs. Wm. Cunningham, of San Leandro, Mrs. D. B. Fowler, of Madera and Miss Edna Raish, of Marysville; also one son, Attorney R. R. Raish of this city. - Yesterday when the hour arrived for the funeral to take place a jury trial was in progress in the Justice Court.  Judge Morrissey, who was presiding, called a halt in the proceedings and declared a recess during the hour the funeral was in progress.  Judge Morrissey, who is an enthusiastic member of the order of N.S.G.W., is a great admirer of the pioneers of California, those who braved the dangers of the desert, and the buffets of old ocean in coming to this country in the olden, golden days.  He paid a high tribute to the deceased pioneer, who came to Marysville when it was a young village, pitched his tent where the court house now stands, and established himself in the blacksmithing business, which he followed for many years.  The judge referred to many incidents in the life of the deceased and to his good qualities, benevolence, and kindly disposition.  He spoke words of sympathy for Attorney Raish, who was his predecessor on the bench and the other members of the bereaved family. - Other members of the bar in the courtroom at the time spoke in similar strain.

Daily Appeal - 3/3/1910, p1 - Coroner's Jury In Raish Case Exonerate Engineer Jardeau: Unfortunate Man Was Walking On the Feather River Trestle When the Engine Knocked Him Off - "We, the jury, find that the deceased, Charles Raish, a native of Scranton, Pa., aged 81 years, 8 months and four days, came to his death on the 26th day of February, 1910, in Yuba county, California, from injuries received by being struck by Southern Pacific train No. 21, and we further find and believe that the engineer endeavored to stop the train and used all precautions generally used in such cases." - The above was the result of the inquest held on the body of Charles Raish, who was killed last Saturday afternoon while walking across the Southern Pacific trestle to Yuba City, by being run down by the Oroville-Sacramento local passenger train No. 21.  The inquest was called at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon by Coroner Kelly, and the following jury was selected:  John Peffer, Peter Engel, William McClelland, Amos Fisher, C. A. Barnes and Eugene Sneed. - Engineer's Statement - The principal witness during the progress of the inquest was Louis Jerdeau, the engineer.  He stated that it was about 1:50 o'clock when he crossed the K street levee in this city, and blew the usual station whistle for Yuba City.  While in the act of blowing the whistle he observed a man on the trestle between the bridge which crosses the Feather river and the gravel deck trestle, this side.  He stated that it is no unusual occurrence for pedestrians to be walking across trestles and naturally he thought the man would step off on one of the platforms to a place of safety as is the usual custom.  A few seconds later he blew what is termed as a station whistle and opened the valve of the whistle fully in order to warn the man of the danger approaching. - Turned Around - Engineer Jerdeau [sic] stated that the man then turned around and faced the train, turned back and started to run as if in an attempt to reach the large platform.  He ran but a short distance and then stopped.  The engineer then threw on the air and emergency brakes, but was unable to arrest the progress of the train, which was moving at a speed of about twenty miles per hour, in time to avoid an accident. - He stated that from his position or seat in the cab he is unable to see an object ten feet in front of the engine.  Therefore he did not know whether he had struck the man or if he had escaped by stepping off on one of the small platforms on which is stationed a barrel of water for fire protection.  He at once called to the fireman and asked "Did we hit him?"  The latter replied that they had and that Raish had been knocked from the trestle to the ground below, a distance of about ten feet. - Engineer Jerdeau stated that he and the fireman then stepped out of the cab and hurried down the embankment to the unfortunate man, who was in a sitting position on the sand.  He was bleeding slightly from the mouth.  He asked Raish if his side was injured and the latter replied that it was not, but complained of his neck.  They placed the injured man on the train and he was conveyed to the depot at Yuba City. - Fireman's Story - The testimony of Fireman Sherwood was comparatively the same as that of Engineer Jerdeau, with the exception that he witnessed the last stages of the accident, he being on the left side of the engine where he had a clear view of the man all the time.  He stated that Raish was struck in the side by the bumper on the left side of the engine and when he fell from the trestle he struck his head. - There were several other witnesses examined, among them being Conductor Engelrock, who was in charge of the train, but their testimony brought out practically nothing that had not been previously adduced by the other witnesses.

RICHARDSON, HARRIS C.

Marysville Daily Democrat - 4/1/1897, p1 - Here Is A Lesson - The Rapid Pace Set by a Young Man Leads to His Death Under Regretful Conditions - A Legacy From The East - Had Harrie [sic] C. Richardson lived until the second day of next January he would have celebrated his twenty-ninth birthday and continue to have bright prospects of which any young man might well be envious.  But he chose the path that is not of the straight and narrow kind, and to-day his lifeless body occupies a slab at the morgue. - With three companions young Richardson arrived in this city last Sunday evening.  He had been here but a short while when he convinced the observant ones that the object of his visit was pleasure rather than business.  He prided himself on the possession of diamond finger rings and checks galore, and his ability to keep up his end when it came down to sociability and congeniality for "the boys" sake.  He had "money to burn" and found no trouble in finding companions to aid in fanning the flame that consumes. - Last night about 12 o'clock this young man was conveyed from the house at the foot of D street known as No. 7 to one of the hotels, suffering all the torments that follow in the wake of overindulgence in alcohol.  Two hours later he died, despite the efforts of a physician to restore him. - This forenoon when his trunk was opened at the office of Coroner Bevan one of the first documents to be revealed was a certificate of service issued from army headquarters showing that young Richardson joined Troop A of the Fifth U. S. Cavalry December 22, 1890, and served until March 21st, 1894(1891?), when he was honorably discharged at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, the original discharge giving his character as "very good." - From the young men who accompanied deceased to this city it is learned that he has been in California nearly three years, Napa City being his headquarters until recently.  He worked chopping wood near that place.  On the 18th instant he received a legacy of $1,500 from an Eastern relative and immediately started on a spree, going first to San Francisco, thence to Woodland and finally reaching this city.  About $200 of the amount received from the East is left.  Ex-Mayor Alexander Lewis of Detroit, Michigan, is an uncle of deceased's mother. - Richardson and his companions were on the way to Red Bluff, near which place they intended trying their luck at prospecting.  They had purchased a portion of their outfit in San Francisco and expected to buy their tents, shovels, tools, etc., in Red Bluff.  The young men with Richardson are named Wm. A. and E. B. Walker, brothers.  These two claim that they used their best efforts to have Richardson sober up while here, but to no avail.  The certificate of Dr. Barr furnished Coroner Bevan ascribes death to delirium tremens.  As the physician was with the young man several hours before he died, an inquest or autopsy are not deemed necessary. - After Richardson's trunk was taken from the baggage room at the A-street depot and its contents examined by the Coroner in hopes of locating all the relatives of the young man, Public Administrator Batchelder took charge of the following property belonging to the deceased:  A certificate of deposit on a San Francisco bank in the sum of $200; a Winchester rifle valued at $17.50; a single-barrel repeating shotgun worth $15; a diamond ring bought at San Francisco for $140; a pistol worth $12.50; open-faced silver watch, and other effects. - Deceased was at one time employed by A. T. Hatch, a prominent Suisun orchardist, as book-keeper. - In explanation of the $1,500 legacy which came to deceased last month, Wm. Walker said to-day that it was the residue of $2,000 bequeathed Richardson fourteen years ago by a Judge Humphrey of Boston, Massachusetts.  It appears that Richardson and a son of the Judge were classmates in a boarding school near New York.  A strong friendship grew up between the lads, which ended only when young Humphreys died.  The love the father bore his son was in a degree transferred to Richardson, the classmate, and when the jurist drew up his will he remembered the lad in sum of $2,000. - The money was to be paid to Richardson when he reached his 23d year, but as a sister of the Judge came in for a life interest in the estate distribution was not made until after her death.  In the interim the estate's valuation decreased and Richardson's share was necessarily reduced to $1,500.  Richardson was a native of Weymouth, Mass.

RINES, JOSHUA R.

Marysville Daily Appeal - 8/17/1897, p4 - AWAY THIRTY-FOUR YEARS - J. R. RINES VISITS MARYSVILLE AFTER A LONG ABSENCE - J. R. Rines, a former resident of this city, who has been employed as a mail carrier in San Francisco for the past twenty-eight years, made the Appeal office a pleasant call yesterday morning. - He informed an Appeal reporter that he had been a house carpenter in this city for about ten years, his place of business being on C street where a portion of the Golden Eagle Hotel now stands.  On the 4th of July, 1862, he lost his left arm by the premature discharge of a cannon, and has not been in Marysville since the year following.  He recently won one of the Bulletin's prizes for the most popular carrier, and was given a trip to Oregon, for which place he will leave this morning.  His wife will accompany him on the trip. - The Appeal of July 6, 1862, gives the following account of the accident referred to: - "The only accident in this city and vicinity on the Fourth of which we have heard were the explosion of an anvil at Smartsville, by which one man was severely bruised, and the premature discharge of a cannon while our national salute was being fired at sunset.  By this untoward accident J. R. Rines, a carpenter and an industrious man, was so severely wounded that amputation of his left arm was deemed necessary and the limb was taken off yesterday afternoon, just below the elbow, by Drs. Watts, Mitchell and Wilkins. - Another man, Riggins by name, who was assisting Rines in ramming home the charge, was injured, his face and hands being badly burned, so that one of his eyes is destroyed, and the other is supposed to be partially so; and his right hand was so badly lacerated that the amputation of the fingers was found to be necessary.  The operation was performed by Drs. Harrington and Watts.  Riggins has a wife and family and a subscription paper was circulated around town yesterday for their benefit and that of Rines, by W. T. Ellis and James Haworth, whose calls upon our citizens were very liberally responded to in the sum of $800.  Messrs. Haworth and Ellis deserve great credit for the zeal with they manifested in their humane work." - Mr. Rines spent yesterday called on some of the pioneer citizens.  He was delighted with  the "new" Marysville, composed of handsome buildings, well kept yards and streets that would be a credit to any city in the state.  He will spend a few days more in this city on his return from Oregon as he is anxious to meet his old friend L. B. Ayer who was connected with the Appeal during his residence in this city.
