Obituary:

Drowned. The little four year old son of Mrs. Frank Long was drowned in Yeager's creek Friday afternoon. The boy, in company with a little cousin three years old, was on the bridge which crosses the creek, when the youngest boy's cap fell into the water, and it was in trying to rescue the cap that the unfortunate lad was drowned. The little cousin went home and reported that Frank went into the water and did not come out again. Search was made and the body was found by Henry Bostelman and Elmer Gilson, after being in the water about one hour. The stricken mother has the heartfelt sympathy of the community.
