John Williamson of this place was
drowned in the Wisconsin river just
below the ferry. on the Sank Co.
SIDE 1t appears that he in company
with Edward Jones and an other
boy were bathing in hole between
sand bar and the bank. William
son, who was unable to swim, want
ed to cross from the bar to the shore
and thought he was able to make
the distance. The other boys eau
toned him against trying and told
him to wait until they had found
out how deep it was. but needless of
their warning he stepped forward
and the bar being very steep he
was percipitated into deep water
before he expected. One of his
compaions caught him as he came
up but was compelled to release his
hold in order to save himself. He
rose once more and the boys tried
to catch his feet but failed. AS he
did not come up again assistance
was called and the body recovered in
about three qua :" Of an hour.
No attempt was made o restore him
as all signs of life were extinct. His
remains arrived at Dodgeville at 2
