NEWSPAPER Issue of Wednesday, July 11, 1917

LOWELL News

The entire community was shocked last Thursday afternoon when it was learned 
that Millard Whitten had been drowned in Ussery Lake. A Mr. Webb made a heroic 
effort to save the lad and in the effort was almost drowned himself.  Whitten 
could not swim and got beyond the rope and thus met his fate.  All efforts to 
resucitate him were without avail.  The funeral was conducted from the Second 
Baptist church Friday afternoon by Rev. J.W. Rucker and the interment was in 
the city cemetery.  Besides his parents, the deceased leaves one brother, 
Robert, of ATHENS, Ga. and three married sisters living in LaGrange, and one 
sister making her home with the parents.  All were present at the funeral.  
Millard Whitten bore a good man. The superintendant at the mill where he was 
employed, praised him highly.
