In 1947, Beth Livermore married Matthew Schmidt, who had recently been paroled from San Quentin, as he had been convicted of complicity in the 1910 anarchist bombing of the "Los Angeles Times" building. Matt drove the getaway car. On the evening of June 1, 1954 Livermore was fatally injured when she drove her car into Big Creek after visiting friends. Matt, who was in the car with her, unsuccessfully tried to keep her head above water. Livermore left and her cabin with instructions that it be used as a state park. Livermore called the property 'Rancho Para Todos' (Ranch For Everyone).
