The Macon County Citizen - The Montezuma Georgian
Merged Oct. 1, 1931 November 8, 1934
DROWNED CHILD'S BODY IS LOCATED
Forsyth, Ga. - Nov. 7 - A message was received last night by Mr. and Mrs. J. T. English from the coroner at St. Simons that the skeleton of a small child, believed to be Lawton, the younger of the two English boys lost the latter part of July, had been found on an island about 10 miles below St. Simons.
The two little English boys, James 10, and Lawton, 8, playing on the beach, were drowned late in July and though desperate search was made, neither of the bodies was recovered. A missing tooth and the general form of the small skeleton found on Sunday leaves little doubt that this was Lawton. W. M. Tribble left at once with J. T. English, father of the child, for St. Simons to make further identification.
