DROWNED WHILE FISHING-
An awful accident, which shocked the community, occurred June 19, when Charley Wymore met his death while fishing in the Blue river near Barneston, Nebraska, and Albert Cox and Ike Knowles nearly lost their lives. The boys were trying to stretch a rope across the river. Albert was in the water when an under current seized him and took him under. Charley went out after him and Ike followed. It soon became a struggle for life and they called for help, the rest coming to their aid- Charley seemed to lose strength, though being an excellent swimmer and was pulled under, coming up but once. The boys threw a rope to him as he came up but he was too far gone to try and grab it and went down for the last time. Charley's brother Elliot swam, over the spot where he sank for ten minutes, read to seize him if he came up again. The rest waded in to help Albert who as he came up for the sixth time grabbed Ike's hand and was pulled ashore. Charleys' death occurred about 4 o'clock in the afternoon and the body was not recovered until 7 the same evening. The body was brought home Sunday about noon and the funeral services were held from the M. E. church at Bookwalter Monday morning. Interment was had in the R. T. Scott cemetery south of Pawnee City. Charley was one of the finest young men in Pawnee county and was a friend of everyone. He was a kind and indulgent husband and father, and the sorrowing wife and children have the sympathy of the entire community in their hour of bereavement.-Pawnee Republican
