Floyd West Drowned
Floyd West, aged about 25 years,
of Athens, was drowned in the riv-
er here at $50, Sunday evening,
when his boat was swept against a
boulder in the mill race at the
Stockport mill. He, with his wife,
and a party of friends of Athens,
was enjoying the fishing here over
the week end, and they witnessed
the tragedy from the bank. All ef-
forts to resuscitate him failed. The
body was removed to the Van Fos-
sen funeral home, and later taken
to his home at Athens. The cur
rent is very swift at this place, and
it is considered one of the most dam
gerous places on the river, at this
point.
