LOST LIFE SAVING SISTER.
Ralph Stratton of West Townshend
Drowned in West River.

West Townshend, May 24.-Ralph
Stratton, 20, oldest son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry G. Sratton, lost his life
late Sunday afternoon in West river
nearly opposite H. E. Posts place while
saving his sisters life. Accompanied
by his sister, Miss Esther Stratton,
and Miss Edith Pendleton, he went to
what is called "Stony Greek deephole,'
to battle.
Esther got into deep water, but by
heroic effort Ralph managed to get
her out. Apparently he was seized
with craAp, and went down. Help
was summoned and the body was found
in about 10 feet of water. Selectman
+. w. Watson was notified and the
BODY was removed to the boys home.
The accident happened at the place
where the body of the Champlain Real
ty Co. employe who was drowned re-
Gently was found few days ago.
Ralph and his sister started to wade
out into the water and stepped into a
hole where the water is from 10 TO ID
feet deep in different places. The girl
was unable to swim, but her brother,
who was considered the best swimmer
in this part Of the town, kept her head
out of water and got her on to rail
road tie which Mrs. Post and little
son. Herbert, who were on the bank,
pushed out to him. In that way she
was gotten to the shore.
Ralph Stratton formerly attended
the Brattleboro business institute and
for a time worked in Fitch's plumbing
store in Brattleboro. In his childhood
he lost one leg by amputation, and he
had since walked lame His father
who is farmer and cattle buyer, was
town representative two years ago
Five children in the family survive.
