YOUNGSTER DROWNS SUNDAY

   A three-year-old Gladwin youngster drowned Sunday morning about 11:05 a.m. 
while playing near the dam on Wiggins Lake. Richard Joseph Engle, son of Mr. 
and Mrs. Thomas Doyle, of 2674 Parkway, Gladwin, had been throwing stones out 
onto the ice when he apparently slipped off the bank into about four or five 
feet of open water, investigating sheriff's officers said.
   He was visiting his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Gaines, caretaker of 
Chappel Dam, at the time of the mishap. Gaines recovered Richard's body and 
gave artifical respiration. Two Gladwin firemen, Jack Mawhorter and Henry 
Ziemer, were summoned with a resusitator, but efforts to revive the youngster 
failed.
   Richard was born in Wayne on Dec. 31, 1962. He had lived in Gladwin with 
his parents for three months. Besides his parents and grandparents, he is 
survived by a brother, Thomas III, at home. Services were held Tuesday at 2 
p.m. from the Hall Funeral Home. The Rev. Randall Roose officiated and burial 
was in Dale Cemetery.
