Drowned in the Philippines.

As Associated Press dispatch of February 11, from Manila, P. I., which appeared 
in the Statesman last Friday, conveyed to Mrs. Peter Pence of this city the sad 
news of the drowning of two cousins, Burch and Grace McGrew, together with 
others, off the coast of Tayaba, the southern province of Luzon.  Miss Grace 
McGrew was well known to many of the older settlers of Payette, who will be 
shocked to hear of her death, having visited at the home of Mrs. Pence in this 
city fro several months about 12 years ago.  Mrs. Pence has received no news of 
the sad accident other than that given by the dispatch, which said that the 
party drowned, composed of government officials, the McGrews having been 
teachers, were returning to the mainland from an island where they had been 
having a picnic, when a storm came up, capsizing the boat.  The home of Prof. 
And Miss McGrew was Auburn, Neb.  The former had been in the Philippines about 
two years and the latter about a year.
