All of Fulton County was shocked on Sunday when it was learned that three young men had drowned in Little Creek, near the Josie Truax home. The boys were Donald and Marshall Garland, about 20 and 17, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Chas G. Garland of Thompson Township, and Fred Bard, about 15, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Bard of Pleasant Ridge. Although the creek was not deep where the boys were swimming, they hit a deep hole and the whirlpool suction held them to the bottom. When found, the three were clasped together.
