Twice A Week Twin Falls Times  July 21 1914 July 17, 1914
Thirteen-Month Old Chester Mecham Found In Small Ditch.
  A very sad accident occured at the home of Mr. And Mrs. Lyman Mecham, in the 
northern part of the city, last Friday morning which resulted in the death of 
their thirteen month old son, Chestr, by drowning. The family was about their 
usual morning work, Mr. Mecham at the barn, and Mrs. mecham preparing the 
morning meal. The little boy had been dressed and went out in the yard and it 
is  supposed that he attempted to join his father at the barn, and in crossing 
the bridge which leads to the barn fell in. The child was not missed until Mr. 
Mecham returned to the house, when search was commenced and the remains were 
found about twenty feet from the bridge, lodged against a headgate. Everything 
was done to try and bring the child to life. The remains were taken to Morgan, 
Utah, Saturday morning for burial, accompanied by the bereaved father and 
mother.
