From the Worcester Telegram May 22, 1938:
SALIME BOUCHER, 34, of 15 Division St., part owner of the J. Boucher & Sons Milk Company. Boucher, whose wife has been under a doctor's care since a son was born two months ago, toppled from a motorboat which he had purchased 10 days earlier and which he was giving a tryout at the pond in the northern end of Charlton, where he had a summer camp.
Five other men were in the craft. One dived and quickly recovered the body. Failing at artificial respiration on shore, the group sped Boucher nine miles to Harrington Hospital, Southbridge, where physicians worked in vain. Boucher was pronounced dead at 8:15 PM, three quarters of an hour after the Charlton tragedy. Medical Examiner A. J. Mc Crea gave a verdict of accidental drowning.
Boucher was standing, making minor adjustments to his craft, when he lost his balance and plunged. The boat, moving at reduced speed, was thirty yards off shore where the water is deep, when he fell, witnesses said. Arthur Lammi, dove in immediately and in a short time brought Boucher, unconscious, to the boat. Louis Boucher, brother of the drowned man, who made his home with him, lifted his form into the craft. Meanwhile three brothers-in-law, helped Lammi aboard and steered the craft to shore, while two of the group attempted to call a doctor. Unsuccessful in both efforts, the men carried Boucher to their automobile and raced to the hospital.
Salime was well known as a (very outgoing and friendly) milk dealer among Franco-Americans on Hamilton St. hill. He organized the business with his brother Louis and their father, the late Joseph Boucher. When the father died several years ago, the sons continued the business. Mr. Boucher was a native of Worcester and a graduate of St. Joseph School. His wife is Rose (Des Jardin) Boucher. Their sons are Richard, Henry, Gilbert, and Daniel Salime. Mr. Boucher also leaves two other brothers, Joseph and William; a sister, Mrs. Rose Quiry, all of Worcester and several nieces and nephews.
