Located in Alturas Cemetery is the headstone of Caroline Mills Soldate. I managed to locate family info on her as well as an online news article from Nov. 22, 1933 that reads:
Mrs. Caroline Soldate, who was seriously injured on October 8th, when the car in which she was riding went over the grade, turning over several times causing serious injuries to her, has so far recovered to be able to return from San Francisco to her home in Alturas last Monday.
I also located an online family tree for Caroline. It reads:

Argus OBIT, Petaluma, CA
April 19, 1940:
Friends paid a tender farewell to Mrs. Lucy Mills, widow of William A. Mills, when funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at the Methodist Church in Palo Alto. The flowers sent to her bier were beautiful and expressed the love of hundreds of friends.
Mrs. Mills death followed soon after the passing of her husband. The couple resided at Penngrove for many years and were among the pioneers of the county. She was aged 85 years. She was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. David Wharff, who ranked among the earliest residents of Penngrove. Her late husband was prominent here in earlier years and the family acquaintance was large. Miss Elizabeth Goshen of this city attended the funeral of her late aunt.
Lucy married William Andrew Mills on 22 Apr 1874. William was born on 18 Apr 1852 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and died on 15 Jan 1940 in Alturas, Modoc, California, USA at age 87.

It was sad to read that Caroline lost her oldest brother so young in age and her baby brother in WWI. It's also amazing to read she suffered serious in a car accident and recovered to live so many more years. There's an inscription on Caroline's headstone that reads:
NE CEDE MALIS
This is a latin phrase which means 'Yield not to misfortunes'. I wonder if this inscription is referencing her accident and loss of her siblings?
