From: Carnegie Hero Fund Commission
Ceawood Nelson Murray, aged twenty-seven, carpenter, saved Flossie M. Comstock, aged thirty, from drowning, Kansas City, Kan., December 20, 1928. Mrs. Comstock jumped from a viaduct into the Kaw River and drifted in the current fifty feet from the bank. Murray, who was fully clothed and was a poor swimmer, ran seven hundred feet to the water, waded, and then swam forty feet to Mrs. Comstock. He grasped her arm and tried to swim toward the bank, but they drifted with the current. Murray finally swam to a point twenty feet from the bank and was aided to the bank by means of a pole which was extended to him by a man in wadable water. Mrs. Comstock was unconscious but was revived.
