Emil Huesmann, 14 years old, and his brother Charles, age 12, were drowned together in the River Des Peres while Emil was trying to save his brother Charles.

Emil, while bathing with other boys, went beyond his depth. His brother Charles, two years his senior, sought to rescue him. Neither brother could swim. They went down locked in each other's arms.
