Death Of Jesse SuIham.
Jesse, second son OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Scion Sulham, was drowned in North
Attleboro, Mass, last Thursday as LIE
was skating on Writings pond during
the noon hour.
He had been home to dinner and while
waiting for the whistles to sound the
time of his return to work as errsnd boy
for r. Blackinton & Co., be put on his
skates for few minutes of boyish recrea-
tion. He was enjoying himself alone at
the south end of the pond when it oo-
CURED to him to cross over to nisce
near an ice house, and in doing so,
struck patch of thin ice, with open
water on both sides, and went through.
His cries were heard by George
Roessler, young man of IS, who was
near the ice house and about so yards
from the spot at which the Sulham boy
went down. Roessler took an ice run
and pushed it across the thin ice until
he reached the Sulham boy, who was
about exhausted. In the struggle to save
him the raft overturned, precipitating
Roessler into the water, but the latter
grabbed the drowning lad with one hand
and the ice run with the other, shouting
for help, and soon attracted attention.
Men secured boat and, breaking the
ice with paddles, fastened as rapidly as
possible to the rescue. When they
succeeded in drawing near enough to
render assistance, the Suibam boy had
gone down for the last time, and
Roessler was giving up the struggle. He
was pulled into the boat and carried to a
nearby shop for resuscitation. Then,
with . rake tbat caught in his clothing,
they brought jesse out of the water and
worked over him for an hour in the vain
hope that he might revive. No sign of
life rewarded their efforts, and he was
undoubtedly dead when his body was
taken from the pond.
Six years ago his elder brother, Ernest,
then 10 years old, was swimming in the
pond near the Dyer ice house, in this
village, July % and, slipping into hole
beyond his depth, never came out alive.
There are now left of the children Mrs.
Sadie Rioux, whose infant son was born
Jan. IS; Josephine, Winnie, Inez and
Harry Sulham, all living in North Attle-
boro.
Jesse, who would have been Is the
14th of next month, was promising lad,
well-liked by his employers and asso-
ciates. Very elegant floral tributes ex-
pressed the kindly regard of many
friends at the funeral, held at North
Attleboro Sunday, and the remains were
brought to Randolph Monday by the
parents and little Harry. Owing to the
burial permit having been forgotten at
the moment of departure, interment in
Southview was delayed until yesterday.
