Pilot 8 July 1901
The sad gloom of death passed over the happy home of Mr. and Mr. Geo. Fairchild last Friday, taking in its wake their bright little 8-year-old son, Harold. The little fellow was bathing in a pool near the house with a number of playmates and ventured out too far in the deep water and was drowned. His little sister made a heroic attempt to save him, but she too, came near going under and in order to save her own dear little life, she was compelled to make a hasty retreat for the shore. Mr. Chris Rathmann, passing along at the time jumped in and brought the lifeless body to land. Dr. Pruner was immediately summoned and everything was done to bring the unfortunate little fellow back to life, but his spirit had gone to the God who gave it. Harold was a bright little boy and will be greatly missed by his schoolmates. At the home circle his smiling face will be seen no more.
