Sixty Years Ago: Drowning at Sioux River During Sail
A.C. Gray, 21, Englishman from Akron, drowned when a gust toppled his sailboat on the Sioux River near Elk Point. Charles Brady swam to shore safely on the Town side while Gray failed to reach the South Dakota side. Elk Point council will not reopen the municipal pool this summer due to sanitary complaints, with plans to solicit estimates for a new pool of about 80 by 70 feet. A proposed $30,000 cost, reduced if local labor donates, includes a filtering and chlorinating system.
