Carsten, Bobby Donald 4 Feb 1932 - 28 Jun 1942

[Note: Son of Louis Arvy “Dutch” & Ermal Elizabeth (Cutbirth) Carsten; surname spelling from tombstone]

Bobby Donald Carsteen had dozens of friends.  He made them easily.  One of his chums was David Yates, 12, of 1706 Cairo.  Just after noon yesterday, Bobby, who’s 10 years old and lives at 1516 East Walnut, went to David’s house to play.  David’s mother sent him to the store for a loaf of bread and a box of salt.  Bobby went along.  Both boys rode their bicycles.  On their way back, they rode east on the 1600 block of St. Louis, which is unpaved.  Bobby was in the lead.  A rural delivery ice truck passed David, then started to pass Bobby.  The truck got about halfway past Bobby, then something happened.  No one will ever know how Bobby lost his balance and fell beneath the huge rear wheels of the truck.  Possibly his bicycle wheels got caught in a rut, throwing the bicycle toward the truck.  David didn’t see the accident, because he had turned to glance over his shoulder.  By the time the driver of the truck, Hugh Allen Kern, Jr., 17, of Route 2, had stopped the machine, Bobby was dead – his head crushed beneath the wheels.  The accident occurred just outside the city limits, but both city police and highway patrolmen were called to the scene.  According to Patrolman Herbert Sobolewaki, Kern had no commercial chauffeur’s license.  No charges have been filed yet, however.  Kern told police he passed Bobby and that the youth went out of view.  “I heard a crash, stopped the truck and found the boy, still on his bicycle, with blood running from his head”, Kern said.  Cheerful Bobby was a fourth-grader at Oak Grove School.  His friends said he was happy – “always seemed to be having a good time.”  Survivors include his mother, Mrs. Clay Chastain; two brothers, Herbert Carsteen, 17, and Alvin Carsteen, 20; and his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles G. Moore, Clever.  An inquest was held this afternoon at Thieme Chapel.  Funeral services will be at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday afternoon in the Methodist Church at Battlefield with the Rev. Marvin A. Crocker officiating. (Springfield Leader-Press – 30 June 1942)
