July 1,  1836   Charlotte Journal
   MELANCHOLY CASUALTY -- A young man by the name of EDWARD WILLOUGHBY was 
drowned in the Catawba River, near the Mountain Island Shoals on Friday 
evening last. He had gone to the River with several others from Charlotte for 
the purpose of fishing, and in venturing too far, got himself into a whirl or 
suckhole formed by two rapid currents coming together, became strangled, and 
lost all power to save himself. His body was not found until Saturday evening 
when a jury of inquest was held over him, and he was decently interred. He was 
a cabinet maker, and came to this place from Wadesboro' in December last, and 
has resided here since that time, and had so demeaned himself as to be 
respected by those who knew him.
