| Notes for Carrie Belle LIVESLEY | ||||||||||
| - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Carrie was a schoolteacher who married Bill Bergstrom "late in life." This was six years after the move to Deschutes. She had no children of her own but adopted his two girls Mildred and Eunice. She came to a painful end in 1922, in one of the Livesley's saddest moments. Carl Livesley's second wife Mildred recalls: "Carl and his wife Maggie went to Applegate in Southern Oregon for about two years then moved back to his mother's home in Deschutes. Carl then had to return to Applegate to get the rest of their furniture. While he was gone the house burned and Carrie Bergstrom, her two stepdaughters, Mildred and Eunice, and his boy George L. died. The children died in the fire and Carrie on the way to the hospital. Carrie's husband's hands were very badly burned while trying to rescue them. The fire started because gasoline had been put in an incubator instead of kerosene and it exploded." Unfortunately, the more you learn of this story, the sadder it gets. The fire started on the second floor and the three children were trapped in the bedroom beyond it. Carrie and Bill both fought to critical condition trying to reach them. He eventually survived with badly burned hands and a crushed life, she did not. Carl's wife Maggie was also burned but not as hadly. Maggie's mother and Mary Birge Livesley were both present and devastated. The house was completely lost.
