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.
The service was cortducted by Rev. R.
J. Bowen. Burial took place in Wood
