CHARLES

June 1942 "Particulars of the death of Charles Maxford Loring, 37, presumably by drowning in a river near Sacramento, California, are being awaited by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. Loring, and sister, Mrs. Ruby Grissell, of Yuma. A message received here Saturday night stated only that the body of the former Yuma resident had been found in a river and that funeral services would be conducted Monday. As the deceased had not been seen for several weeks by other relatives residing at Sacramento, it is believed that he met his death some time ago. An investigation to determine if he had drowned accidentally or had met with foul play was started soon after the body had been found.
Mr. Loring was born in Yuma on July 23, 1904, and attended grade and high schools here. He went to California a number of years ago and was employed by the state motor vehicle department at Sacramento prior to his tragic death. Besides his parents, who have been residents of Yuma since 1885, and his sister, he is survived by an older brother, Merrill Loring, of Glendale, California."
