Tragic Drowning at Piedmont Park Lake on Holiday
Royal Lee Culpepper, 13, slipped beneath the water amid a crowd of bathers at Piedmont Park Lake. Divers recovered the body about an hour later as spectators watched in shock. His mother had threatened in the past to burn his bathing suit to prevent supposed drowning. The boy, who worked at the Keely store on Whitehall Street, had just begun his first holiday and first job.
