San Antonio, April 22 -- Chill waters of Medina lake, near here, gave up the fourth victim of an April 4 boating tragedy that claimed six lives, when the body of Samuel Johnston was found ... early today. The body of James E. Stone, a retired railroad employe, was recovered yesterday afternoon. Those of two other victims, Mrs. Lucille Lamkin and Minnie Lee Johnston, were found a short time after a sudden squall caused two boats to capsize. [Abilene Reporter News, April 22, 1937]
