Jun 24, 1977: Newspaper obituary For Sander Pearson, prob Santa Monica, Los Angeles Co., California:
SANDER PEARSON, WELL KNOWN CONTRACTOR, PASSES AWAY
Mr. Sander Pearson, the man who built the first highway from Malibu to the Ventura County line, passed away on June 15^th in Santa Monica. Mr. Pearson had many friends and relatives in and around Santa Monica. He along with his first wife and his stepson Everett Ainge, moved to Santa Monica in 1925 and built a home at 711-16^th St.

In the early 1920’s Mr. Pearson did many tract jobs in Venice, Ocean Park, and Santa Monica. Later he built 14 miles of highway 80 from Alpine to Pine Valley, through the San Diego mountains. He also built a canal in the Antioch- Pittsburgh area. His last job was in 1944 where he built the runways of what is now called Edwards Air Base. This was an emergency Government job which had to be completed in a hurry. Mr. Pearson worked a full crew, three shifts, 24 hours day and night till he completed all the runways so that our bombers could land there. This was his last job. He retired after having a contract with the government on a set amount; they cut his profit in half, $25,000 to him and $25,000 to his first wife, where his profit should have been $100,000.

Mrs. Pearson passed away in 1945, leaving Mr. Pearson and her son Everett. Mr. Pearson leaves his nephew David Pearson, his stepson Everett Ainge, and three nieces, Viola Voss, Esther Staplton and Betty Jean Popa.

His death was quite a mystery, none of his relations or friends were notified, not even the local newspapers. He died June 15^th and was buried on the 16^th very secretly, no services.

Mrs. Jacquelin Pearson, her daughter Linda Williams and her husband Paul Williams are being investigated for foul play.

Sander is buried alongside his 1st wife, Elizabeth (Peterson) Ainge Pearson in the Inglewood Park Cemetery in Inglewood, Los Angeles Co., California.
