that you have a severe bilious at

This community was shocked and
saddened at the news of the death by
drowning of Wiley j. Kelley, only son
of Mrs. Lena Kelley. which occurred at
Lake Lamoille last Sunday afternoon at
about 3:45. In company with Porter
Greene, son of Mrs. Frances Greene, and
Lyle, son of Mr.. and Mrs. F. A. Smith,
Wiley went to the Lake, after a late
dinner, for a swim. He had only been in
the water short time, when he stepped
into deep hole, supposed to be the bed
Of the Ryder brook, just above the con-
crete dam south of the iron bridge, near
the cottages. Lyle and Porter had
swan across the dam and Lyle was
getting ready to dive from the concrete,
when they heard Wiley shout and no.
ticed he was apparently treading water.
They thought at first that Wiley was
fooling and Porter, who was nearer, was
the first to realize that the former was
in trouble and got to him as soon as
possible. Wiley drew Porter down and
after several vain attempts to save his
companion the latter was completely ex-
hausted and was rescued and dragged to
shore by Lyle. There were several peo-
pie in the vicinity, but none near enough
to assist the boys and Wiley sank for
the third time in about twenty five feet
of warer. Several other boys were in
the water, and tried to recover the body
by diving, but were unsuccessful and it
remained at the bottom until about 4:3Q, !
when Ballau Towne rescued it with |
grapples. There was large number of |
people gathered at the scene and every. |
ling possible was done to assist and
comfort the stricken mother, DR.. Geo,
L. Bates was summoned and was there
some time before the body was recovered.
Wiley had been in Watervile with
his grandmother, and only returned
Saturday morning, accompanied by the
lotter.
The funeral was held this afternoon at
200 O'Clock, from the Cong'l church,
Rev. w. Stanley Post officiating, assist
ID by Rev. W. T. Best, Scout Master, of
which organization Wiley had been a
very active member. The pail bear

Wiley John Kelley was the only child
born to the late Bernie ]. and Lena
Wiley Kelley. He was born in Morris
7ile and would have been IA years of
age had he lived until the 18th day of
he present month. He was a manly,
straightforward young man with an
lpparantly promising future and his
demise is one OF the prob.
ems not easily understood by those left
behind. The blow to the mother is a
loudly severe one, as Mr.. Kelley died
,nly last January and the hopes and
owe of the mother were centered in the ,
on. The community sympathizes Deep
