Grandmother of George Schmidt Dies
George Schmidt of Rock Springs received word yesterday of the death of his grandmother, Mrs. Mary Schmidt, at Cheyenne.
Mrs. Schmidt, 76, died Wednesday at the home of a daughter, unaware that a son-in-law was killed and another daughter injured in an auto accident near Colorado Springs a week ago as they were on their way to their home in Nashville, Tenn., from a visit with her.
According to word from Cheyenne, Mrs. Schmidt seemed only to be waiting word that her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. H.P. Prickett, had safely reached home.
Knowing that, and although she was in terrible pain and had just suffered the terrific shock of her husband’s death, Mrs. Prickett had a note dispatched to her mother telling her that they had safely arrived home.
The note eased Mrs. Schmidt’s worry and she relaxed to lapse into the death she had predicted for herself about three weeks ago when she first became ill.
The Pricket mishap was the second fatal automobile accident in the Schmidt family. In 1930, George Schmidt of Rock Springs, father of the local youth and a son of Mrs. Mary Schmidt, was killed in a crash near Green River.
