Sad Death

Russell B. Waltz, aged 18 years, son of Mrs. and Mrs. E. E. Waltz, recent 
arrivals from Cleveland, Ohio, met a sad death by drowning in Creasey's pond 
last Sunday afternoon. 

In company with Will Fisher he was bathing in the pond and was seized with 
cramps, and notwithstanding the heroic efforts of his companion to rescue him, 
he sank in 15 feet of water. 

Dr. Drysdale was summoned and rushed to the scene in his auto, and being a 
good swimmer and diver, went to the bottom of the lake several times to locate 
the body, but was unable to do so. The pond was dragged and Russell's body was 
found after he had been in the water four hours. 

The funeral was held from the John B. Fisher home Monday and was largely 
attended. Rev. R. B. Wright, of Boise, officiating. 

To the bereaved parents the heartfelt sympathy of all in this community is 
extended in their terrible bereavement.
