Drowned

We are pained to record the sad death of little Howard Griffith, son of Mrs. 
W.L. Griffith, of Columbus which occurred on Wednesday evening June the 28th.  
Little Howard had gone down to the river with some of his companions to go in 
bathing in the Chattahoochee.  Not being accustomed to the sport and the water 
being very swift and deep at the point where he entered, in an unguarded moment 
he sank out of sight and drowned.  The body of little Howard was recovered 
after a diligent search.  Failing to find the body dynamite was used and the 
body of little Howard was found on Friday morning three hundred yards below 
where he entered.  We cannot picture and can only imagine the bereavement of 
the mother’s heart when the sad news of the death of her son was made known to 
her.  He was a bright and affectionate boy about ten years old.  His remains 
were brought to Reynolds on Friday and interred in the cemetery at Crowell on 
Saturday.  Mrs. Griffith has the sympathy of this community in her sad 
bereavement
