L. E. Sadden, Nephew of Goder-
ich Man, Goes to Death in
Florida Covet Waters
Mr. AmbleRedden of town has re-
celted word of the tragic death of bis
nephew, L E. Hadden, which ocx•urred
off the coast of Florida, near Tarpon
epringa, on April lith. The young
nun, who had visited hie uncle here
on various occasions, was twenty-nine
years of age and was a native of Al-
v►naton, Ontario. He was the only
child of Mr. and Mrs, George A.
Hadden and went with his parents to
Florida about ten years ago. Father
and son operated an automobile re-
pair shop at Iakeland, Florida. Mrs.
George Hadden was fortueriy Mesa
Hathaway of Goderich, a niece of
lin. Ben Graham of town.
As told by the local paper, the
young man's death was the result of
AY'berolc and suceesaful effort to save
the Iife'of another. Hadden and Ser-
geant W. P. Wade, of the local field
artillery base, were on a camping trip
to the Florida west coast and wblle
there accepted the invitation of a fish-
erman named Ilorace Roberts to go out
on the gulf on a fishing expedition.
They put out from Tarpon Springs
in Roberts' craft, a 22 -foot open boat
with au inboard motor. Roberts
was standing up in the rear of the
boat steering It wltb two ropes. Sud-
denly be fell baetward out of the
twat. Hadden threw a life preserver
the 8oundering fisherman but it
effused its mark. The boat mean-
while was drawing farther away from
the man In the water, who was calling
for help, and Hadden, who was a
strong swimmer, plunged In, picked
up the Ilte preserrer and made his
way to Roberta.
Wade had slowed the boat down,
hut after it had drifted about forty
yards from Hadden and the fisherman
the motor stopped. Hadden reached
Roberts, gave him the lits 'deers**,
and eopnnenc•ed to swim toward a
bird roost amine hundred yards away.
Wade was working over the motor,
gian•ing up occasionally, and In le
few minute* saw that Hadden had dis-
appeared. He had gone down with-
out a cry. Roberts. with the aid of
the preserver, reached safety.
Searehing parties failed to find the
body of the missing man.
The young man was married and
bad one child.
