Sacramento Bee, July 6, 1973, Pg 1
Yolo School Principal's Son, 10, Drowns in River
The 10-year-old son of Earl G Summy Sr., principal of Washington High School in 
Broderick, today was swept away in the Sacramento River and drowned. The boy, 
Kevin, was setting crawl dad traps with his father in the river about three 
miles south of West Sacramento off South River Road. Sgt. Paul Anderson of the 
Yolo County sheriff's department said Kevin had a line tied around his waist 
and attached to one of the traps which pulled him into the river as it was 
swept downstream. The elder Summy watched helplessly as his son disappeared. 
The diver, assisted by members of the West Sacramento Fire Department, searched 
the river for about two hours before the body was recovered. The Summy family 
resides at 1145 Westacres Road, West Sacramento.
