The Niles Republican
Saturday, 29 October 1859

         Drowned - THEODORE TRUMBOWER was drowned in Mud
       Lake, nine miles west of this city on Friday after-
       noon of last week. He went out in company with two
       others, and he started in a little skiff to scare
       up ducks while the two stationed themselves in pro-
       per places to shoot them as they passed. He passed
       with his skiff out of their sight. Hearing nothing
       from him for some time they began to look for him
       and discovered the skiff in the lake some 40 rods
       from shore, empty. They endeavored to construct a
       raft, but night coming on, they abandoned it and
       returned to this city. A large number turned out
       the next day in search of him. On proceeding to
       the skiff the grass being very thick, they were
       able to trace MR. T's course through it towards
       the shore, he having taken to swimming. -
       His body was found about 20 rods from shore, and
       brought to the house of his brother-in-law, of
       this city, Mr. EDWARD K. BRICK.
