 A.J. Clack Drowning
Article from Richland Beacon News in September 1892



Mr. A.J. Clack was drowned in Boeuf  River, about fifteen
miles above Rayville, on Friday evening, last week. It seems 
that Messrs. Clack and McCowen had been to Oak Ridge, and 
returning,Mr. Clack concluded to swim the river on
his horse when he got opposite to wherehe lived, instead 
of going down two miles to a ford. In some way he was
thrown off his horse and drowned in six feet of water, nearthe 
east side of the river. He leaves a wife and several children, 
who have our condolence in their trouble.
