Newspaper article on buggy accident: 1 August 1896, Saturday - California Prospect Newspaper
Mrs. George Crosby (see Womble) of Copperopolis, was thrown from a cart last Monday near that place and badly injured, while her three-months-old child she carried was killed.  Mr. Crosby in company with his wife and child started in a road cart for the Womble residence at Pine Log.  As they reached the gate to the fence inclosing the premises, Mr. Crosby got out to open the same, leaving his wife in the vehicle to drive through.  She did so and stopped on the other side while her husband closed the gate.  As the sun shone in the babe's face, the mother concluded to open her parasol, but just as she did so the noise of the closing gate caused the horse to turn its head and look back.  The sight of the opening parasol frightened the animal and before Mr. Crosby could reach the cart, the animal started off on a run.  With the child in her arms, Mrs. Crosby was unable to stop the horse, and as they crossed a ravine the cart was upset and the occupants thrown to the ground, where they - or at least the mother remained in an unconscious condition.  As the horse approached the house an attempt was made to catch the animal, when it turned in its tracks and ran back the way it had come.  Reaching the prostrate forms one of the wheels passed over the child's head crushing its skull.  Mrs. Crosby was carried to the home of her parents, medical aid summoned, and eery attention given her.  Although seriously injured there is hope for her recovery.
