#2:
HIGH WATER OF CEDAR CARRIED FOUR TO DEATH
[redacted]
- Lad of Twelve Drowned Near Orchard.
The fourth drowning occurred near the bridge over the Cedar about two miles southwest of Orchard, this victim being Carl Jenne, twelve year old son of Mrs. Tony Burg. Mr. and Mrs. Burg and the children had gone to the river from Orchard and in wading the lad stepped suddenly into deep water and was swallowed by the swift current. Search was began for the body as soon as possible, but the body was not found until Tuesday night, at the Haberkorn bend, about two miles below where the lad was drowned.
Funeral services will be conducted at the church at Orchard at 2 o’clock this afternoon by Rev. Bertram. The family came to Orchard this spring. Mr. Berg being a beet worker.
A full account of this sad case will be found in our Orchard items. It would seen these terrible tragedies would tend to make people more careful when the river is on such a rampage. Universal sympathy goes out to those who are bereaved, though words of comfort and sympathy cannot lighten much the grief of the surviving relatives.
