Ionia Standard – 9 August 1877
Willard Hall, an estimable young man of Saranac, was drowned in Grand River 
near that village on Friday of last week.  He and another young man by the name 
Will Train were in bathing, and while swimming in a part of the river where the 
water is nearly 15 feet deep, he was suddenly taken with cramps, and 
disappeared from view.  Young Train made some vigorous attempts to save his 
friend but was unable to render any efficient service.  His body was recovered 
in about an hour and a half.  Dr. Dresskell made strenuous efforts to 
resuscitate life, as a feeble heart beating was apparent for some time.  His 
death, however, followed shortly after.  The funeral occurred at the M.  E. 
church on Saturday afternoon.
