Cold Night Rescue Reveals Narrow Escape From Freezing
A sleighing party from the First Church of Christ in Akron saved Earnest Smith and Joseph Nathwurst from death after a midnight accident near the Reservoir. The men, both from Cleveland, were frozen in parts of their bodies but survived with aid from Rev J G Singer and others. A second party near Springfield Lake faced two frostbitten men, Silcox and Barder, who were rescued after drifting and exhaustion. Seven degrees below zero marked Akron’s cold record, while sleighing remained active despite the danger.
