TWO.LADS DROWNED AT
GRAND BENR
Two little boys were drowned
Grand Bend on Wednesday after
noon of last week and a shadow of
gloom was cast over the community. Harley Davison, son of Mr.»and Mrs. I farm burned, also some stooks of]
Ernest Davison,. o>f Pt- Huron, and
Clayton Anderson, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Stanley Anderson, of Grand
Bend, both 8 years of age, were
drowned in a deep hole in a small
creek which runs into the river
Aux Sable. The two lads had gone
fishing in the afternoon and when
they did not return at supper time a
[search was instituted throughout the
neighborhood- without success. Mr.
Maurice Brenner, of Grand Bend,
however, knowing that the lads had
gone fishing as a last rdsort tried
dragging the deep hole in the little creek and about midnight the two ]
bodies were recovered with a pike
pole.
The two lads were first cousins,
the mothers of the boys being sis
ters. Both had been used to the
water all their life. How the tragedy
occurred will never be known but
it is supposed that one of the boys'
had slid into the water from a Slip
pery clay bank and the othet in a
heroic effort had tried to rescue his
companion. ■
The funeral took place on Satur
day ’aftefcnoon from the home of Mi-.
[David Sturgeon, uncle of the boys,
[interment taking place in the Grand
Bend cemetery, the two little lads
being placed side by side in the
same grave, A large number of <
(friends, including many of the camp
ers, were present at the funeral. The ’
floral tributes bespoke the sympathy}
of many friends.

being warmed over an open blaze
I when the asphalt caught fire. The
