It's time for another edition of "Carringers in the News" - a weekly feature from the historical newspapers about persons with the surname Carringer (my mother's maiden surname) that are interesting, useful, mysterious, fun, macabre, or add information to my family tree database.
This week's entry is from the San Diego [Calif.] Evening Tribune newspaper dated 12 September 1931:

Abbie A. Smith (1844-1931) was born 28 October 1844 in Aurora, New York, the daughter of Samuel and Mary Ann (Underhill) Vaux. She married Devier J. Smith (1839-1894) on 4 April 1861 in Rolling Prairie, Wisconsin, and they had five children. Their first-born was Abbie Ardell "Della" Smith (1862-1944) who married Henry A. Carringer (1853-1946) in 1887 in Wano, Kansas. Henry and Della (Smith) Carringer came to San Diego in 1887, and Abbie Smith came in after the 1894 death of her husband. Henry and Della had two sons, including Lyle L. Carringer (1891-1976), who married Emily Kemp Auble (1899-1977) in 1918 in San Diego. Lyle is my maternal grandfather, Henry and Della are my great-grandparents, and Abbie A. (Vaux) Smith is a second great-grandmother.
