The Manitowoc Pilot
Thursday, 25 September, 1873

         Drowned - Last Friday, a young daughter of CAPT. PETER
       LARSON, of this city, started to cross main street bridge.
       The draw was open at the time, a fact which it appears she
       did not notice. She walked along the bridge, looking at
       something over her shoulder, and walked straight on and
       off the bridge into the river. All efforts to rescue her
       were fruitless. Her body was recovered the same evening,
       and her funeral took place Sunday. No one on the bridge
       suspected but that she was aware of the draw being open,
       and of course thought she would stop when she came to the
       open space; therefore were not prepared for the accident.
       Her sorrowing parents have the sympathies of the entire
       community.
