Bennettsville [Chenango Co., NY] was the scene of tragedy Saturday afternoon when William David Moyer, 3-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Moyer, was drowned in the Bennettsville Creek, a short distance from his home. The Sidney First Aid Squad arrived about three minutes after the troopers but their efforts proved futile. Seven men of the squad, under the supervision of Chief Archie Spencer and Bob Laraway, worked for two and a quarter hours using the inhalator and other methods. The body was found floating in three feet of water by the child's older brother, Donald, who with Mrs. Paul Michel, of Bennettsville, had been looking for the little boy. Mrs. Michel carried the body to shore. A neighbor called Dr. Ben Dodge and Troop C. Barracks, the barracks receiving the call at 1:20. Troopers F.E. Van Buskirk and Milton Ratner responded after notifying the emergency squad. Charles Staats, of Windsor, employed by the United Stated Department of Agriculture, and who was working on a private job in Bennettsville, heard Mrs. Michel's cry for help and rushed to the scene of the accident and immediately started artificial respiration, having taken First Aid in connection with his work. Upon the arrival of Dr. Dodge, he and Staats alternated in artificial respiration until the emergency squad came. Mr Staats told the troopers that he saw the child walking toward the brook about a half hour before the body was found. He tried to send him home. H. Smith, of Bennettsville, who was with Staats, also tried to send the boy home. About 20 minutes after Staats talked with the tot, Mrs. Moyer missed him and started a search for him. A neighbor called Mr. Moyer who was working in Barton. Coroner Matt Boname, of Oxford, issued a verdict of accidental death by drowning. Other members of the emergency squad assisting were: Donald Fitzgerald, Ray Laraway, Ray Hatt, Ralph Marble, Don Cumber, Louis Parent and E. Dann. The body was removed to Colwell's undertaking establishment on the consent of the coroner and Mrs. Moyer by the Sidney squad ambulance, escorted by the troopers. Services were conducted at Colwell's Chapel Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock with the Rev. Paul L. Carpenter officiating. Interment was in the Bennettsville Cemetery.
