OBITUARIES WILLIAM W. CARSON

There passed arvay in San Francisco on October 28, 1937, a lumberman, William W. Carson, whose name will be remembered when many of the so-called great of today have been forgotten.

Mr. Carson was vice-president of the Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Company. He u'as born in Eureka, Calif., 60 years ago, the son ofWilliam Carson, founder of the company, and entered the firm's San Francsico office after his graduation from Stanford University in 1898. He is survived by his brother, J. M. Carson, of Eureka.

In his will, he expressed his love for his fellow men by generous gifts to institutions for crippled and ailing children, helpless old people, employees of his company and of the club where he lived.

He bequeathed large sums of money to the University of California, Stanford University, Stanford Hospital and for the establishment of five scholarships at Stanford, also to Stanford Convalescent Home, the Shriners' Crippled Children's Hospital, the Salvation Army, the Community Chest, Protestant Old People's lfome, Protestant Orphanage, Blindcraft and many other similar institutions.

His bequests included many who served him, even to the elevator operators in the building where his office was located.

What a lesson and example for others is contained in the will of this man, who thus expressed the great qualities of generosity, friendliness for and interest in the other fellow !

Mr. Carson was a man who disliked publicity throughout his life, and therefore it is only now that some particulars are beginning to be known of his bountiful annual contributions to many worthy charities.
