MR. AXn MBS. ROY WAUGAMAN
MEET Sl'DDEN DEATH
While her 17-year-old son watch
ed Troni another airplane, Mrs.
Roy Waugaman and her husband,
both of San Diego, spun to their
death in an airplane crash on Tripp
flat, near Anza October 5. 1033.
Three other passengers in Wall- J
gaman's plane, two of them San
Diegans, were injured seriously.
Mrs. Verna La Place, operator of
a dining room at 810 Ash street,
was not expected to live. Both
legs were broken and she suffered
fractures of the h'p and skull.
Lester Pudy employed at the din
ing room, was reported in a ser
ious condition with fractured wrist
ribs and a poss'ble skull fracture.
The fifth person in the wrecked
ship was- Paul Ollinger, Anza home
steader. He suffered a broken
nose, cuts and possible internal in
juries.
With Ralph Jefferson. Mrs.
Waugamun's son. the San IV.ego
party had flown to Tripp flat in
Waugaman’s plane Wednesday to
visit Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Fred
erick. formerly of San Hiego, who
are living near there. Wednesday
night Waugaman telephoned ,*#o
L'ndbergh field -that he would not
return until yesterday.
Yesterday morning Frederick
took off from the improvised air
port with his wife and young Jeff
erson in his ship. He watched as
Waugaman. his plane loaded, took
the air laboriously and swung to
miss the mountains that encircled
the field. “He had cleared the
hills, but his ship stalled and
spun in, landing on its nose among
boulders on the hilltop.” Freder
ick said.
Before Frederick could land and
reach the wreckage, C'.C.O. boys
from a nearby camp had extricat
ed the injured. They were taken
in automobiles to a hosptnl and
Frederick and Jefferson to San
Diego. He was inclined to at
'rlbute the accident to the heavy
load and the rarified air of the
mountain flying field.
Wauguman, a marine engineer,
retired about two years ago and
came here from Nome. Alaska.
S'nce then he had divided his
time between San Diego and Wat
sonville. where his mother is liv
ing, or San Francisco, friends said
yes erday. He was married about
a year ago, it was stated.
Mrs. Waugaman is survived also
bya daughter, Edith Jefferson. 15,
and a married daughter said to be
living in Las Vegas. Nev. The
Waugamans and the two children
had been living at 2640 Columibia
streei since the'r return from San
Francisco a few weeks ago.
