    Nith River Claims Two Young Lives

    Andrew Eichler And Earl Huehn Drowned Here On Wednesday

    The River Nith took its toll of two more lives when on Wednesday afternoon, Andrew Eichler, the 8 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Eichler, and Earl Huehn, 6 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Orlin Huehn, were drowned. The two lads were about town during the day in their youthful play and about 3 o'clock wended their way to the river below the dam where their young lives were abruptly ended in death.

    Just how the sad fatality occurred is not definitely known. The boys were seen fishing from the apron of the dam and then apparently waded onto the apron and slipped into a water hole beyond, where the water is about six feet deep.

    The first inkling of the sad affair was when a brother of the Huehn boy cried for help and said that "Earlie had gone down in the water and isn't coming up any more." It was then that the full significance of the sad affair was realized. Ernie Eichler, an uncle of one of the drowned boys was loading gravel several hundred fed from the scene of the fatality, and ran for help. The bodies were recovered about twenty minutes after the accident but all attempts at resuscitation failed and life was pronounced extinct by Dr. Anderson, who was called upon the scene.

    The victims of the sad calamity wore both cheerful and bright young boys and their death is deeply lamented. Much sympathy is felt for the two bereaved families in their affliction. The funeral of the two companions in death will be held on Saturday afternoon with private service at their parents' home. A public service will be held at 2.30 o'clock in Trinity Lutheran church, of which both children were Sunday School pupils, followed by interment in Riverside Cemetery.

    Drowning Victims Laid to Rest

    A double funeral was held here last Saturday afternoon for Andrew Eichler and Earl Huehn, the two young boys who so unfortunately lost their lives by drowning below the mill dam last Wednesday afternoon. Private services were held at the homes after which the two corteges proceeded to Trinity Lutheran church where a joint funeral service was held by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Mosig. The church was filled to the doors by sympathizing relatives and friends of both bereaved families. Following a very impressive funeral sermon the two small caskets were placed in the funeral coach and the two funeral processions proceeded side by side to Riverside cemetery where the little bodies were laid into their last resting places. The pall bearers were all schoolmates and playmates of the two departed boys. Many beautiful floral tributes were sent by sympathizing relatives and friends. Rev. Mr. Mosig also had charge of the services at the grave sides. The Eichler boy leaves his sorrowing parents, six brothers and four sisters and his grandparents. The Huehn boy leaves his grief stricken parents and two brothers.
