Monday evening, between 7 and 7:30 p.m., Charles Floyd, a young child of Mr. And
Mrs. Wm. Dutters, Baltimore Street, Gettysburg, was found drowned in a fresh 
water pool in the rear of Mr. Dutter's residence.  How the accident occurred is 
not exactly known, but it is supposed he went, as was his frequent habit, to the 
pool, from which a stream of water was constantly flowing, to get a drink and 
fell in.  During the evening he had been playing with other children, but
unfortunately no one was with him when the accident occurred.  The pool was 
several feet deep.  Expressions of warm and tender sympathy are universally 
expressed by our citizens for the bereaved parents.  He was a bright, 
interesting boy, aged 8 years, 6 months, and 27 days.
