Obituary: TRUCK WRECK KILLS TWO BOW HUNTERS
Pickup Plunges 300 Yards Down Steep Mountainside
Bacchus - A half-day search for two missing Salt Lake County deer hunters climaxed Sunday at 1:20 p.m. when their broken bodies were found on a mountainside two miles west of Bacchus.
The men apparently were killed Saturday when their four-wheel-drive pickup truck tumbled 300 yards down the mountainside.
The dead men were Calvin Reed Bartholomew, 37, 4320 S. 4000 West and Eugene Peterson, 43, 3157 W. 3100 South, both of Granger. They were the first fatalities of the infant bow hunting season.
The vehicle was torn to pieces as it plunged down the steep mountain on the south side of Coon Canyon.
One body was about 25 yards from the largest part of the truck, and the other another 25 yards up the mountainside.
The wreckage was found by Sheriff's Deputies Pete Kutulas and Darrell Brady, who were operating with the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Jeep Patrol.
The patrol had 16 jeeps searching the Oquirrh Mountains from west of Magna to Butterfield Canyon, south of Bingham.
Deputies Brady and Kutulas said they had followed the tracks of the victim's truck up a fire break on the ridge line to the south of Coons Canyon.
The hunters apparently drove to the end of the fire break and while attempting to turn around lost control of the vehicle.
It plunged down the mountain. The truck appeared to have turned over several times as it crashed through scrub oak two to three feet high, the two deputies said.
Wreckage and belongings of the two men were scattered the full distance of the plunge, and the rear wheels landed 50 yards beyond where the truck body stopped on the bottom of a draw.
Mr. Bartholomew and Mr. Peterson had left Saturday about 1 p.m. to go bow and arrow hunting for deer in the mountains. Mr. Bartholomew told his wife that they would be gone only for a couple of hours, and they did not take any water, food or heavy coats with them.
About 10 p.m. Mrs. Bartholomew contacted Mrs. Peterson, who did not know where the two men had gone.
The Sheriff's office was notified Sunday at 2 a.m.
When a search by deputies did not locate the missing men, the Jeep Patrol was called in at 9:58 a.m.
Justice of Peace D. S. Walker, who was at the scene, said it was apparent that both men were killed almost instantly.
Salt Lake County sheriff's officers said the two deaths would not be counted as traffic fatalities.
Aiding in the search were three light airplanes of the Utah National Guard which skimmed the ridges and valleys to direct the searchers to the scene where Deputies Brady and Kutulas were waiting.
To bring the victim's bodies up the steep hillside, searchers had to tie long nylon ropes to the litters and then to a jeep on the ridge. The litters then were supported by searchers as the jeep pulled.
This procedure saved possemen several hours of work, said Walter Fox, second in command of the Jeep Patrol.
Eugene Allen Peterson was born in South Jordan Dec. 26, 1917, a son of Henry J. and Marvel Ray Peterson.
He attended South Jordan Elementary School, Jordan High School, South High School and the University of Utah.
He entered the U.S. Army in 1935 and retired as a major nine months ago. He served during World War II and also during the Korean campaign.
A member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he was a priest in the Wells Ward.
Mr. Peterson married Arvilla Cundick in Salt Lake City June 10, 1940.
At the time of his death he was operator of a service station in Kearns.
Survivors include his wife, sons and daughters: Leon Cordell Peterson, with the U. S. Navy in Japan; Brent Peterson, with the Marine Corps in San Diego, Calif., and Sharon Ann and Peggy Carlene Peterson both of Granger.
Other survivors include his parents and brothers and sisters, Deverl and Harold Peterson, Mrs. Grace Whipple, Mrs. Dorothy Wilson and Mrs. Hel e n McCaul, all of Murray, and Vaughn Peterson, San Francisco.
Calvin Reed Bartholomew, 4320 S. 4000 West, was born in Fillmore July 5, 1924, a son of Loy and Juliet Bartholomew.
He attended school in Fillmore and later entered construction work. At the time of his death he was superintendent of construction for the Leavill Construction Co.
He married Leona Bartholomew in Idaho Falls, Idaho, May 14, 1954.
Survivors include his widow; a son and daughter, Tobin Reed and Tamara Lee Bartholomew, Granger; his father and stepmother, Mrs. Ireta Bartholomew, Fillmore, and brother and sisters, Vernon Bartholomew, Los Angeles; Mrs. Jean Dobson, Holden, Millard County, and a sister in Salt Lake City.
