San Dimas Press Newpaper California, April 17, 1913
Charlie Moon Drowned
  Last Saturday while fishing in Puente Lake Near San Dimas.  Funeral Tuesday 
at 1:30.
  One of the most distressing accidents ever known in San Dimas occurred on 
Saturday afternoon, when Charles Willis Moon, son of Mr and Mrs C.E. Moon, was 
drowned in Puente Lake.  Mr. Moon, accompanied by his sons, Henry and Charles, 
and Ivan Kesterson, left early Friday morning for Puente Lake on a compaing 
trip.  After lunch on Saturday, Henry and Ivan left for a visit to the camp of 
some Shittier boys; farther up the lake and Mr Moon and Charles remained 
behind.  In about an hour, Mr Moon appeared at the Whittier camp, expecting to 
find Charles there.  A search was at once instigated and as no trace of him 
could be found it was feared he was drowned. 
  A search in the lake was commenced and continued until Sunday noon, when his 
body was found, his hand still grasping his fishing pole.
  Charles as 13 year of age and in the 7th Grade at the San Dimas, Grammar 
school.  The funeral services were held in the Methodist church of which he 
was a member, on Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, Rev M.S. McGee 
officiating.  His classmates attended the services in a body.  The heart-felt 
sympathy of the community goes out to Mr and Mrs Moon in their sad affliction.


Additional Comments:
The census record of 1910 lists Charles E Moon as head, Mary E, Wife, Eva L 
Daughter, Henry R as son and Willis C son, 10 years old.  
  Charles Willis Moon, child in the article would have been 10 years old in 
1910.  Article lists C.E. Moon as the father which would correspond with the 
census record of Charle E Moon and Henry is listed as another son in the 
census record and in the article.
