TRAGEDY AWAITED
VISITING COUPLE IN
STRANGE WATERS
Drowning OF Oregon Inlet Sun
day Manifests Dangers Which
Too Many Visitors Ignore

The loss on the week end in
Pamlico Sound near Oregon Inlet,
of the lives of Russell Lanier, 40
and Mrs. Geneva Lucille Mcclure
81, from small boat brought by
trailer, points up sharply the often
repeated warning of the dangers
so locally well-known, that are
ignored by visitors to the capri
cious waters of ocean inlets.
The couple from st. Joseph's,
Mo-, who had been visiting Lanier's
parents in Elizabeth City had come
down with their boat on trailer,
bringing with them q dog. The car
and trailer were left at the inlet.
Balfour Baum of Manteo found the
overturned boat Sunday morning,
with the dog sitting on the bot
tom. He radioed from his fishing
boat to apprise the Coast Guard
who maintained a search of several
days for the missing couple.
After George Mann of Mays
Head had seen the couple in the
little 14-foot boat emerge from a
dangerous spot across the bar, he
warned the man of his danger and
was told to mind his own business.
Previously he had called the Coast
Guard station to notify the crew
of the situation. They wanted
some bait, and were warned by
Jethro Midget of Rodanthe it
would be folly to fool around this
area in small boat.
Lanier formerly lived on RID 2,
Elizabeth City. Mrs. Mcclure, ac-
cording to cards left in her purse
listed her address at 1107 S. 39th
St., st. Josephs, Mo. She had in
her purse pictures of three young
children.
Tragedy seems to have followed
Lanier. His wife and child were
killed in an automobile accident
ten years ago. His address was
listed as 2S11 S. Seth St., St.
Joseph's.

On Sunday, October 2, at 400
pm, the Kitty Hawk Methodist

will be free of debt. Bishop CARRIER
and District Superintendent J. l..
Jerome will be present for the dedi

The building fund chairman, P
A. Tillett, says he has had the
greatest Christian experience in
raising this money of his entire
life. He says it has been a great
joy to him to be a part of this
great project-A project that was
very much needed.

The building fund chairman
states that on several occasions he
would be given money in $500

appeared to not like that. Saying,
if people want to give, OK, but
no matching. This was setback
