The Altoona Tribune. (Altoona, Pa.) February 25, 1858
On Saturday morning last, (Feb. 6,) a little boy about seven years of age, son of
Sarah Stull, an inmate of the Poor House, was drowned in Kishacoqillas creek. He was
returning from school, and his dinner basket blowing from his arm, he ran after it,
and in going down the steep bank, lost his footing, and fell in the creek below. He
cried to his companions (a little boy and girl) to help him, but they were badly
frightened, and hastened home and gave the alarm, too late, however, to save the
boy. The creek was then dragged to find the body, but without success on that day.
On the following morning the search was renewed, and at about 10 o’clock the body
was found. —Lewistown Democrat.
