Elgin Echo, Thursday, 1 August 1918.

Another fatality occurred Tuesday afternoon a few miles north of Clermont, when Alfred, the 10-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Suchow was drowned in a creek while in bathing. Alfred, in company with some other children and we understand, some of their mothers, while in the water got into a whirlpool over 10 feet deep and drowned before he could be gotten out. It is a sad blow for the parents who have the heartfelt sympathy of everybody in the community. – Clermont Enterprise.
