Thompson, of Philadelphia, formerly of Newtown, who on February 6th was drowned in the Schuylkill river while attempting to rescue a motorboat, was buried in the Newtown cemetery last Sunday afternoon. The young man was a grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Thompson and nephew of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Briggs and had numerous friends here. The body was not recovered from the water until Friday, almost a week after the sad accident, although every effort was made, and the long strain has added greatly to the overwhelming bereavement of his relatives.
