Former Becker Woman Killed
Accidental Shooting in Oregon Was Reported Earlier in Journal
Mrs. Carl Helen Frances Fredrickson, 47, Minneapolis, who was reported accidentally shot to death Friday while riding in a car with relatives near Bend Ore., was a sister of Carl Wokasch of Evergreen township, across the Otter Tail county line in Becker County.
As will be remembered she was riding back to Bend after a visit with a son at San Diego.
She had gone west to visit a son Roger, 17, stationed in San Diego, and then went north to visit two sisters. She was on her way to visit one of her sisters, when the fatal shooting occurred. A suspect, Myron Barkley of Chiloquin, Ore., admitted killing his half brother in an early morning fracas, the homicide having taken place in the same area where Mrs. Fredrickson was killed by a stray bullet. She was a daughter of the late John Wokasch, and her brother, Carl, still lives on the home farm in Becker county.
