DROWNED AT BELLWOOD.

Robert Bressler, While Swimming in a Dam, Sinks Beneath the Surface.

  Mr. Robert Bressler, while swimming in the dam yesterday afternoon near 
Bellwood, was drowned.  Young Bressler, who was 17 years old, was with 
several other lads when the accident occurred, but unfortunately they were 
unable to render the needful assistance in time to save the boy's life.  The 
death came as quite a blow to his parents, doubly so under the circumstances.
  The deceased, a son of Lemuel Bressler, of Bellwood, was born at Dry 
Hollow, near Warriorsmark.  Besides his parents, he is survived by a brother, 
George, of South Fork; also one sister, Ada, and two brothers, Matthew and 
Samuel, all at home.  The remains will be taken today to Warriorsmark for 
interment.
