The bodies of Lewis L. Taylor, 1231 Mount Vernon avenue, Orlando, and Brantley Tindall, of south east Orange county, who were drowned late yesterday In Lake Mary Jane, were recovered this morning by parties dragging the lake.
The body of Taylor was recovered about 9:30 o'clock by a group of volunteer workers while the body of Tindall was taken from the water about 9:30 o'clock by a group of workers of which Deputy Sheriff George Fields was one, Sheriff Frank Karel accompanied by Deputy George Fields, went to Lake Mary Jane early this morning to direct the search for the bodies.
The two men were drowned late yesterday while they were crossing Lake Mary on a lighter carrying a load of turpentine and rosin across the four mile distance.
There were no known witnesses to the drowning but officials believe that the lighter was over loaded or not properly balanced. The lighter sank but a row boat attached to the craft broke loose and remained afloat as did a number of barrel that were being carried across.
The bodies were found about a quarter of a mile from the turpentine still that Taylor operated with T. J. Cox as a Dartner and where Brantley was employed.
The bodies are now at the Carey Hand undertaking establishment. Funeral arrangements for Taylor will be announced following the arrival of a son, W. L., of Chicago. He is survived by his wife and six sons, C.W., Lewis L. Jr., Thomas, W. C., all of Orlando, and M.O, of Kissimmee and W. L. of Chicago, and four grandchildren.
Taylor was 61 years of age and came to Orlando about 12 years ago from Kissimmee.
Brantley Tindall was 18 years old and lived with his mother near the turpentine still at Lake Mary Jane about 15 miles from Orlando In the southeastern section of Orange county.
