Bloed, Charles February 19, 1881 Mariposa Gazette
Sad News- Just as we were going to press on yesterday, the sad news that Mr. Charles Bloed of Merced Falls, had been drowned in the Tuolumne River was received. The sad intelligence was brought here by Mr. Wathal of Modesto, who states that the accident occurred on Thursday in attempting to ford the river mentioned. There was another man, whose name we did not learn, in the carriage with Bloed, and both were drowned. It appears they got to low down the stream, from the proper crossing, and the force of the water capsized the carriage. The body of Bloed was recovered, but the other person drowned had not been found.
