CHILD DROWNS IN IRRIGATION DITCH

BODY FOUND SOME DISTANCE AWAY, HAD WASHED THROUGH SIPHON UNDER HIGHWAY
Little Donald Rawson, 18 months old son of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Rawson of New 
Plymouth, was drowned Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock in an irrigation ditch that 
passed near the home.  Mr. and Mrs. Rawson with their two children, came 
recently to New Plymouth from Ogden, Utah and were staying at the home of Mr. 
and Mrs. G. Massengale, parents of Mrs. Rawson.  During the afternoon the child 
went to pick some peas, and soon after was missing.  Thinking perhaps the child 
had wandered away or picked up by someone, a search was made through the 
neighborhood, and later the water turned out of the ditch that passed near by, 
when the body was found some distance away, where it had washed through the 
siphon under the highway.

The body was brought to the Landon funeral home and Tuesday at 10 a.m. the 
funeral was held from the Baptist church at New Plymouth conducted by Rev. 
Jacobs, pastor, and the body laid to rest in the New Plymouth cemetery.
