Raftsman's Journal. (Clearfield, Pa.) May 19, 1858
Miss Mary Culp, a beautiful and accomplished young lady, was drowned last week in
the Little Chiques at Mount Joy. She, in company with Miss Mary McNeal, ventured out
upon the stream in a skiff. The boat, unfortunately, upset, precipitating them into
the creek, which, at that time, owing to the recent rains, was quite swollen
and rapid. Miss McNeal caught at a limb and supported herself until she was rescued.
After dredging the stream for some time, Miss Culp's dead body was found with her
arms clasped firmly around a floating log and was loosened with the greatest
difficulty.
