Walter Murbach Carnegie hero saluted for river rescue
Elyria native Walter Murbach won Carnegie silver medal No. 35 in 1906 after diving into the icy West Branch of the Black River to rescue John Ira Allen from drowning. He saved one boy, while another drowned. He later saved a second man in 1909 and rose to prominent local posts before moving to Bradenton, Florida, where he died in 1968.
