First Tragedy of Season
George Zeigler, 24 years old, well known young man of Macon, was drowned 
yesterday afternoon while on a fishing trip to Houston Factory.  It was a party 
of young men who left here about 3 o'clock.  The drowning occurred about 5:30 
pm.  It is the first drowning of the season at local resorts.
The body was recovered soon afterward and artificial respiration was applied 
by .........
Drowning Due to Cramps
The young men were swimming in the lake and the drowning was said to have been 
due to cramps.  Mr. Zeigler had been in ill health for the past several weeks 
and the cold water chilled him as he swam.
George Zeigler was a brother of F. R. Zeigler, formerly financial secretary of 
the Macon Y.M.C.A., now of the Dunlap-Huckabee Automobile Company.
The younger Mr. Zeigler was born in Ft. Motte, SC in 1897.  He came to Macon 
four years ago to join his brother, and took a position with the Macon Clearing 
House, later going to the Fourth National Bank.  A year ago he took a place 
with the Dunlap Hardware Company as bookkeeper.   He lived at the home of Mrs. 
M. D. McCoy, 715 Second Street and it was with a number of young men from the 
same place that he went to Houston Factory yesterday afternoon.  In the party 
were W. E. Stubbs, Charles Griggs and W. H. Cherry.
Body to South Carolina
Mr. Zeigler is survived by his brother, F. R. Zeigler, of Macon, Mr. N. T. 
Zeigler of Chattanooga and Jesse M. Zeigler of Orangeburg, SC, brothers; by 
four sisters, Mrs. ??? E. Putnam, Danville, VA; Mrs. C. A. Hooper, Reidsville, 
NC; Mrs. W. D. Kittrell, Ft. Motte, SC; and Mrs. N. W. Geddings, Lone Star, SC; 
by four half sisters and one half brother.
