Orville FULWIDER, the 25 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Fulwider of Alamo, drowned in Little Raccoon Creek just where it crosses the road to Byron. The creek is not much of a creek in most places but the high waters last spring had washed out holes and the boy who could not swim got beyond his depth and drowned before the two younger boys, Herman Tague and Eugene Ward who were with him could give assistance. The pulmotor was brought from Crawfordsville but it failed to resuscitate him. The body was taken to the home of his sister, Mrs. Vern CLORE. Funeral services at the Byron Christian Church on Sunday afternoon were in charge of Rev. John Servies. The pall bearers were Clay Reddish; Carvin Sowers; Forest Coleman; William Reddish; Roy Bacon; Garnett Tague; Roy Mitchell and Richard Gravett. Burial in Liberty Cemetery. The dead boy attended the Waveland School when the family lived on the old Clore place near the Shades. - kbz
