MYRON NATHAN FETTEROLF
From Middleburg Post June 10, 1920
(See Page 108)
People of this community were shocked to hear of the tragic death of Myron Nathan Fetterolf, of Troxelville, Pa., and George Heinricy, of Colorado, who were drowned Monday, May 31st, during the noon hour, in the Grande river near Glenwood Springs. These boys had gone to this place several months ago to operate a ranch.
The boys were going to the ranch house to dinner, having been at work across the river, and to reach the house, were crossing the river in a cable basket. Just as they were in the center of the river the basket swinging low, went into the river, and the weight was too much of a strain on the cable which broke loose from the end which was fastened to the railroad track. Both of them were excellent swimmers and had there been any possible chance for them to have saved themselves, they could have done so, but the river is very swift. Up to this time the bodies have not yet been recovered.
Mr. Fetterolf was a son of Mrs. Kate Fetterolf, of Troxelville, and was born April 4, 1894.
