Drowning near Franklin Park quarry risks three more youths
In Roxbury two boys aged around eleven swam and nearly drowned after entering a deep old quarry in Franklin Park. Joseph Barry, Richard Hess, and Bartholomew Savage, all from Gove Street, were playing on a raft when the youngest failed to swim and vanished.
