The funeral of Roland Shriyer, who
was drowned Thursday while bathing
! will take place at Proctor to-day.
Tais sad occurrence has cast a gloom
| over our town. He was the oldest child
of Prot. Brent Shriver and was very
quiet and well deserving boy. He and
| a younger brother went above town to
the usual bathing place and went into
| the water. Roland could not swim, but
| his younger brother could and tried to
| save his brother, but being about IL
| years old was too weak TO give him any
assistance. Babe Washington, a color
ed boy, located the body in about fifty
1 minutes after the drowning If the
| Shriver boys had waited a few minutes
! before going into the water, a number
of town boys would have been with
/ them, and could have saved him. The
body was found about twenty yards be-
| low the point where he had addressed,
! and the water was not more than eight
| to ten inches over his head.
