Drowned Near Home: Tragic Death of 1-Year-Old William Kennedy
William Kennedy, a one year old child of James Kennedy, drowned in Ward's creek north of Potwist, while wading with others. The current was calm, water shallow, and a backflow from the river filled the stream to a depth of about one to one and a half feet near the scene. The boy became entangled near the shallows as family members searched and helped in the attempt to rescue him.
