Jay Stewart Loses Life While Bath
Ing in Leonard Lake.
Jay, aged fourteen years, son Of Mr..
and Mrs. John j. Stewart, OF Ellswort b
Falls, vas drowned last Saturday after
noon, in Leonard lake.
The boy, with his mother, was spend
ing the afternoon at the home OF relatives.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Chapman, on Third
street. With Grace Stewart, the fourteen
year old daughter Of Mrs. Chapman,
they went to the lake at the foot OF Third
street, where the two children went in
wading. while the mother sat on the
bank. Neither OF the children could
swim.
At the place where the drowning oc-
Cured, the shore is treacherous because
OF scanned lodges and holes. The boy,
who was wading out up to his neck and
trying to swim ashore, got beyond his
depth in one OF these holes, and sank.
When his mother realized that he was
drowning, she rushed into the water in
an attempt to rescue him, and got be-
yond her depth. But for the presence
OF mind Of the girl, there would have
been double drowning. She waded out
as far as she could, reached long stick
to Mrs. Stewart, ana dragged her ashore.
Mrs. Stewart became hysterical, and it
was with difficulty that she was prevented
from again going into the lake.
The alarm was soon given, but it was
half an hour before the body OF the boy
was located and recovered. 1t was taken
to the power house, where the pulmotor
was used in an effort to resuscitate him,
but without effect.
The drowned boy was a bright lad,
popular with his schoolmates and young
friends. The parents have the sympathy
of all.
The funeral was held at the Chapman
home Tuesday afternoon, Rev. FL. W.
Conley officiating. Interment was at
Bluehill, where the family formerly
