Drowning Boy's Hat FloatedEight Year-Old Whitehead Boy Falls From Wharf to His DeathWHITEHEAD,
June 19 - About six o'clock last evening Frank MUNROE, an exceptionally
bright little boy of eight years, who lived with his grandparents, Mr.
and Mrs. Hugh P. MUNROE, Lower Whitehead, was accidentally drowned by
falling over a wharf. His grandfather had left to go to tea, thinking
the little fellow would follow, but as he did not arrive at the house
in a few minutes his aunt went to look after him, and saw his cap floating
on the water a short distance from the head of the wharf. She immediately
called for help, and several men came to the scene and in a few minutes
the lad's body was brought to the surface. Every means possible was
used to resuscitate him, but life was extinct.
