Source: New Richmond Record 10 April 1913 p 1
The body of Leland Wollery of Indianapolis, a Purdue student, who was drowned on the afternoon of March 26, when he attempted the rescue of two men who were marooned on the west pier of the Brown street bridge when two spans of that structure went into the Wabash river, and was the only life lost in the flood at Lafayette, was found Saturday morning at 9:45 o’clock in a pile of debris and sand just south of the detention hospital and about halfway between the Main street bridge and the railroad bridge. The body was in an excellent state of preservation, notwithstanding its ten days in the raging waters of the Wabash. Wollery was 22 years old and was a graduate of Manual Training high school of Indianapolis. The remains were sent to Indianapolis Saturday afternoon.
