Youth Meets Death While Swimming
Donald Currie 11, oldest son of Mr and Mrs C G F Currie, died after attempting to rescue his younger brother John 10 at Sand Creek. The Currie boys swam near the old Missouri riverbed last Thursday afternoon. John struggled in mid channel and Donald, though a strong swimmer, vanished after aiding him. John reached shore unharmed as Donald sank and could not be revived despite rapid response and over an hour in the water. The funeral was led by Rev J J Batten at the Congregational church Saturday at 10:30, with large attendance and generous offerings reflecting the parents’ grief and community sympathy.
