KLAMATH REPUBLIC, JUNE 23, 1910
MERRILL, June 22, Alex, the 8 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Tenbrook of this
city, was drowned in the Lost River yesterday afternoon. He was playing with
one of the boats anchored in the stream With him were two younger boys, aged
about five years old. Young Tenbrook lost his balance and fell overboard. He
was partially paralyzed on one side and this rendered him incapable of rendering
himself very much assistance. The other children were too young to realize the
tragedy that was being enacted in the water and did not give any alarm.
The boy was one of the most popular in the town. He has a host of friends
among young and old, his sunny disposition making him a prime favorite with
everyone. The bereaved parents have the sincere sympathy of the community.
The funeral services over the remains of the dead boy will be held Thursday
morning at 10 o'clock in the Presbyterian Church, Rev. Anderson officiating.
The interment will be in the local cemetery. The father of the drowned boy is
the Mayor of Merrill.
Parents are Abram R. and Sarah Tenbrook.
