Infant Drowns In Ditch Near New Plymouth
 
Toppling into an irrigation ditch at the home of his grandparents, Donald 
Rawson, 18-month-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Rawson, New Plymouth, was 
drowned three miles south of New Plymouth, Sunday afternoon.
 
Missed immediately after he disappeared from the yard in which he was playing, 
frantic relatives turned water from the ditch and found the infant's body some 
distance down on the A. B. Sanderson ranch after it had gone through a siphon 
which crossed under the road.  The body was recovered 20 minutes after the 
drowning.
 
Mr. and Mrs. Rawson have been living at the home of Mrs. Rawson's parents, Mr. 
and Mrs. G. Messengale, at whose ranch the death occurred.  The body is at the 
Landon funeral parlors at Payette.  No funeral arrangements have been 
completed.
 
The drowning was the second to occur in this section of a successive Sunday.  
A week ago Ernest Rumsier (unreadable) lost his life while swimming in the 
Payette river.
 
Funeral services were held from the First Baptist Church of New Plymouth 
Tuesday morning, Rev. Henry Jacobs officiating.  Interment was at Park View 
Cemetery.
