Front page headline:  3 Wabash Valley Boys Drown

Three Wabash Valley youths drowned Saturday, in two separate tragedies.
One of the children was a Terre Haute boy and the other two resided at
Montezuma.

Saturday afternoon, Phillip Michael Lane, 6 year old son of Mr. and Mrs.
James Lane, Terre Haute, lost his life in a lake at a summer camp for
children near Washington, Ind.  The Lanes live at 2405 South Sixth Street.
The camp where the Lane boy drowned, known as Camp Illiana, is operated by
a number of Christian Churches of Indiana and Illinois. The boy accompanied
his mother to the camp Saturday to return several local children who had
been vacationing at the camp.  About 20 minutes after Mrs. Lane and the
youngster arrived at the camp the boy approached the lake.  It was said
that the child lost his balance while attempting to throw a stone into the
water and fell into about four and a half feet of water.  The body was
recovered within a short time.

The Lane family is affiliated with the Maple Avenue Christian Church.

Besides the parents, the child is survived by one brother, Robert Edward,
and one sister, Nicky Ann.  The body was brought to the Cross Funeral Home
Saturday evening.
