Carson Winfield Bledsoe was born to Clinton Winfield and Elizabeth Margaret Bledsoe on September 17, 1952 at the Old Trinity Hospital in Arcata. Win and Elizabeth Bledsoe owned a successful stationery store in Arcata that supplied the entire county’s school supplies.

Carson went to Stewart Elementary School, which was named for his great-uncle, Hugh B Stewart. Carson graduated from Arcata High. Carson met his love and best friend Rosetta Hobbs in 1973. They married in April of 1979 and they bought their home in Fieldbrook.

Carson worked at different mills in Humboldt County. He worked at Crown Simpson Pulp Mill for 10 years. Carson had many good childhood friends and collected good friends along the way. They all loved his infectious laugh and generous heart.

Carson and Rosa loved their home in Fieldbrook and lived very happily until the end. With Rosetta by Carson’s side, he died peacefully.
