Sad Accident
Calvin Taylor, the ten year old son of Mr. W B Taylor, fell
off of the boat We Three last Friday afternoon about 2 o’clock and was
drowned. His remains were brought to Hartford and taken to Capt. Wm. Foreman’s residence
where they were kept until Saturday at 2 o’clock p. m., when interment took
place in Oakwood cemetery.
The accident occurred while the boat was making the bend
Just below the mouth of Muddy creek about two miles West of Hartford. The boy
was standing on the deck near the kitchen and when last seen was sliding over
the guard of the boat into the river. The alarm was given and the boat stopped
as quickly as possible, but while every possible effort was made to rescue him
he drowned before aid could reach him. His remains were recovered in about five
minutes after he sank. All known means were resorted to restore him to life but
to no avail. His father, Mr. Taylor, has the Herald’s profoundest sympathy in
this his sad bereavement.
