The Border Sentinel, Linn County, Friday, July 26, 1872
Drowned.
A colored boy, ten or eleven years of age, named Andrew LOCKETT, was drowned in
Little Sugar Creek, at this place, about 2 o'clock p.m., last Wednesday. The
creek was yet high, owing to the heavy rain of the previous night. Several boys
were playing on a log, and by some means the boy fell into the water. Being
unable to swim, to sink was the alternative. His body was recovered in a short
time. The mother of the drowned boy is an industrious woman, who supports, by
hard work, a crippled husband. She was almost frantic with grief at the death of
her child. In this accident there is a lesson for children to learn and for
parents to teach.
