Clinton Herald April 30, 1864


    Clinton Herald, April 30, 1864

    John Chambers, a deck hand on the steamer, Savanna, and whose family resides
in Clinton, was accidentally drowned at Muscatine on Friday night of last week.
The boat was almost touching at the landing, near midnight, when Chambers, who
was assisting in shoveling out the gang plank, made a misstep and fell between
the boat and a barge alongside. This was the last seen of him. He leaves a wife
and six children, the oldest but of twelve years of age, in destitute
circumstances.
