SON OF FORMER RESIDENTDROWNED 7-Year-Old Donald Coombs Drown­ ed at London The sympathy of- this communty is extended to Mrs. James Adams, of town and her daughter, Mrs. J. A, Coombs (Nellie Clark), of London, in the death of Mrs, Coombs’ 7-year- old son, Donald, who was drowned at London on Tuesday of last week. Mrs. Coombs is well known here be­ ing a former Wingham girl, Mr. Coombs used to live at Blyth, being the son of Mr. and Mrs, Joseph Coombs, former Blyth residents. Donald, in company with his broth­ er, Jimmie, 'and a companion, had gone swimming in the Thames short­ ly after dinner, and the tragedy oc­ curred shortly after 2 o’clock. He had been across on the opposite bank of the river, and had swam back, and immediately turned-round,, attempting to recross the stream. In mid-stream his brother noticed him disappear be­ low the water. The two lads tried to help him but were unable to do any­ thing. After they had tried to locate the body, without avail, the boys be­ came panicky, and instead of sum­ moning aid close at Hand, ran a dis- stance of about six blocks to Donald’s home where they related the story to Mrs. Coombs. She immediately went to the scene in company with a neigh­ bour. Both took to the water in a vain attempt to recover the body, and fin­ ally the fire department was called, and dragging operations were carried out for about five minutes, when the body was finally located in a hole about six feet deep. .The boy was car­ ried ashore, but all attempts to revive him proved futile. Besides his mother and father, the little boy leaves his older brother, Jimme; a sister, Mary Jane, aged three years, and a baby brother, Mich­ ael. * | The 'funeral was held on Thursday from the Oatman Funeral Chapel.
