Mrs. Moull had been visiting at Lawrences for the •past few weeks and early Monday morning had gone back to the river for a swim. When she failed to re­ turn, the Lawrence family went back to the river to seek her and discov­ ered her body. Although Mrs. Moull was not in good health she seemed to be feeling much better recently and on Sunday had attended church twice. Although Mrs. Moull was not in the habit of going back regularly to the river to swim she had gone back once last week. The family and relatives believe that Mrs. Moull suf­ fered a cramp due to the coldness of the water. It is not likely that an inquest will be held.
