The body of Carlton Kirkland, the Oxford High School student, who was drowned in the Chenango river at Oxford Wednesday night was found about 10 o'clock Tuesday morning in a hole under the dam over which he was passing when thrown from the boat from which his companion, Paul Sherwood, jumped and was able to swim to shore. Kirkland attempted to do the same, but became exhausted when only a few feet from shore. Kirkland's home was in Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY]. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Kirkland, was a sophomore in Oxford High School and employed out of school hours in the bakery of Donald Moore. His grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Mowry, and a cousin, Mrs. Donald Moore, live in Oxford. He was an exemplary young man, popular with other students and their leaders and apparently the future was full of promise for him. [Bainbridge Republican, June 1, 1922]
