A sad case of drowning occurred in this village [Morris, Otsego Co., NY] last Sunday. The facts are as follows: At about 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, four or five little girls were bathing in the Butternut Creek, a few rods above the Broad street Bridge, and one of them ventured out where the water was seven or eight feet deep. The children all commenced screaming, which attracted the attention of C.F. Whitcomb, who with Will Leonard immediately ran to the spot and plunged in and with the aid of a rake succeeded in bringing the body out of the water. It was at once removed to Mr. Leonard's house, where a doctor had already arrived, and all was done that could be to restore her to consciousness, but life was extinct. The body was taken to the house of her parents, on the upper Factory ground. The girl's name was Hattie Bogart, aged about 11 years. Her parents had gone to New Berlin, but were immediately sent for. The family have the sympathy of the entire community. A sister of the drowned girl, attempted three times to save her, and barely escaped with her own life--Morris Chronicle.
