Benjamin F. Berners
Sad Accident.
Frank Berners, son of Nic. Berners, Esq., of Two Rivers, aged 8 years, was drowned in the Lake in that village on the 21st inst., while bathing. He was missed immediately, and the whole population of the village turned out en masse to rescue him. His body was recovered in about half an hour, but life was extinct. Mrs. Greenwood, a French lady, was the first to rescue young Frank from his watery grave.
The young lad's funeral took place next day, and was largely attended by the people of Two rivers. The Schools were closed-the scholars taking a prominent place in the procession. The grief of the parents is great over the loss of their oldest boy, which grief is greatly commiserated by the many tokens of consolation manifested by their neighbors. They desire us to give their heartfelt thanks to the whole village for the sympathy manifested in their loss.
