April 1899 Drownings of Mr. Johnson and Hunter of Union Parish Louisiana

From the "Gazette", a newspaper published in Farmerville, Union Parish Louisiana
Issue of 5 April 1899, page 3

The fate of Messrs. Johnson and Hunter, who were supposed to have lost their lives by 
drowning in the OUachita river three or four weeks ago, is now settled. Their bodies
were recovered last week in the river. One of them was found in the brush near 
the bank close to the place where they attempted to cross the stream, and the other 
was found floating down the river about twenty miles below. It is sad that two young 
men should have been thus suddenly taken away.
