The Sabine Index - J. P. Santos 
  
  14 Jul 1939 - J. P. Santos, age 18 years, was drowned last 
Thursday evening near Bison's ferry on Sabine river, while 
seining with his two brothers, Fred and Jessie, when he stepped 
into a whirlpool. Being fully dressed, he was unable to swim 
well. His brothers tried frantically to rescue him. Fred was so 
near drowned that artificial respiration was required to revive 
him. 
  
  A rescue party of citizens from Noble and surrounding territory 
was summoned. The body was recovered late Thursday night by 
Monroe Grantham of Noble. 
  
  Surviving are his mother, Mrs. Santos and his two brothers, all 
of Noble. 
  
  Interment was in the Sulphur Springs cemetery Friday.
