?b?Sad Drowning At Carleton Place Little David Warren, son of W.J. Warren is the Victim?/b?
A sad accident occurred on Saturday afternoon when little David Warren, son of Mr and Mrs Wm. Warren, met death in the Mississippi river at the Bates & Innis bridge. The boy had secured permission to attend the Star theatre and was returning from there at about five o'clock, accompanied by a playmate Jackie Harper, when the fatal accident occurred. The boys when last seen before the accident were playing with a kitten on the lawn before the Bates & Innis mill. According to the story of Jackie Harper the boys when passing over the bridge became interested in the water plunging over the stop-logs at the edge of the bride. [bridge?] Boy-like they scrambled into the railing and watched the water take the drop. Intensely interested David leaned over the edge of the railing just a little too far and losing is balance fell into the seething waters. Jackie alarmed at seeing his comrade's predicament ran to Mr Alexander McDarmid's for help, which was immediately secured but not before the lad was drowned. The body was recovered in less than fifteen minutes. David George was the second son of Mr and Mrs W.J. Warren. Mr Warren who is a traveller for the Mount Forest Carriage Co, was at the time of the accident of the firm's headquarters in Mount Forest. He received word of the death at 6.30 and by 6.45 was motoring to Toronto. There he took the train arriving here early Sunday morning. The funeral was held on Monday afternoon from the home of the child's parent to the 8th line cemetery, Ramsay. The services were conducted by Rev W.A. Dobson. The pallbearers were six playmates of the child; Jackie Harper, Clara Syme, Lester Kemp, Peter Donald, Lawrence Virtue and Harold Virtue. As the cortege passed the town hall school the pupils formed lines as a last tribute to their departed fellow pupil. David, who was eight years and eight months old, was the second eldest of a family of five children, the remaining members of which are James, Jack, William and Isobel. A large number of friends of both Mr and Mrs Warren from the surrounding district accompanied the body to the cemetery, and the floral expressions of sympathy were many. Wreaths were from Mr and Mrs Stanley McColloch, Tweed; B.Y. Williams and family, Jackie Harper, Mrs Harper and Mrs Jefferson. Sprays from the mother and father; Mr and Mrs W.H. Wood, Ottawa; Mr and Mrs Geo M. Warren; Mr and Mrs F.C. Donald, and Miss E. McLaren, from the little cousins Clara and Myrtle Syme and Helen Naismith, J.H. McFadden and family, Mr and Mrs J.R.
