Odham, Blair

TEN YEAR OLD BOY DROWNS

Blair Odham, the 10-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Odham, of Johnstown, who, 
have a number of relatives in Somerset County, where they formerly lived, was 
drowned in the Stonycreek River at Johnstown on Monday while in swimming. About 
forty boys were sporting in the water at the time and not one noticed the boy's 
disappearance and his absence, was only discovered while the lads were dressing. 
Whether he was seized with cramp and went to the bottom helpless, or whether he 
suffered a stroke or attack of heart trouble, are questions that will never be 
known. Blair Odham is survived by his parents, a sister and two brothers.
