Lenox Youth Is Drowned in Pond
Bedford Firemen Asked for Pulmotor
Boyd Cole, 10-year-old Lenox farm boy was drowned Wednesday afternoon in a farm pond at the Orval Reed home south of Lenox.
According to reports here the Cole lad, accompanied by two other small children, had gone swimming in the pond. He apparently crossed the deepest part only to fall the victim of cramps in water which, had he been able to stand up, would not have been over his head.
When the lad sank, his companions called workmen from a nearby field who pulled the boy from the pond. Physician applied artificial respiration to no avail.
A hurried call to nearby towns, including Bedford, failed to locate a Pulmotor.
