Small Child Drowns In Water Tank

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Elder of Bonair, mourn the death of their fifteen month old son, Gordon Eugene, who accidentally drowned in a water tank at their home Thursday, June 13th.

The child was born Feb. 24, 1928, and was exceptionally active for his age. He wandered near the tank where he climbed up on a rock and fell in. His lifeless body was found a short time later.

Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at the home at 2:30 and burial was made in the Phillips cemetery. The Rev. Prescott, pastor of the Methodist church, officiated at the services.

The child is survived by his parents, two brothers and two sisters: Donald, Jean, Helen and Allen.
