Boy Falls off Innertube
into Muskingum and
Drowns
Second Youth
Is Rescued in
Dual Accident
Victim Unable
to Swim
Sinks Before
He Could
Be Reached from Shore
The Muskingum river claimed its first victim of the year
here Monday at 5:28 p.m.
He was Franklin Dwain Brown, 11, of 100 S. Fourth St., who fell
from an innertube on which he was floating near the icebreaker at the end of
the Putnam St. bridge. The body was
recovered by city firemen, police reported, at 8:15 p.m.
Gilbert Allender, 11, of 117 S. Third St. was also reported
to have been on an innertube when Brown fell into the water. Allender made a desperate effort to save his
companion but his innertube also overturned.
One Boy Rescued
David Stroud, 12, of 412 Greene St. was on shore and swam
out to rescue Allender. By the time he
had gotten Allender to shore, he was too late to save Brown. Donald Brown, nine, was also swimming near
by at the time of the accident.
Brown's body was found lodged in the many snags around the
bottom of the icebreaker by firemen using drags. After he was pronounced dead by Coroner J.A. McCowan, the body
was removed to Hadley's Funeral Home.
All efforts at resuscitation by police and firemen failed,
although they worked more than half an hour.
Police said the first report they had of the drowning was
when the Allender boy came to headquarters and told them the Brown boy had
fallen into the river.
Firemen were immediately notified. Chief D. E. Drennen was off duty, but his
assistant, Melvin Fleming, took charge.
When news of the drowning reached Drennen he immediately took charge,
calling for all off-duty firemen.
Search Completed
Several boats and drags were put into operation and firemen
set up powerful lights on the lock wall below the bridge to provide light for
the searchers.
Besides his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hubert E. Broown, the
victim is survived by four brothers, Buster, 16, Donald, 9, Dennis, 5, Richard,
3, and a sister, Joanne, 14.
Hundreds of spectators lined the bridge and stood in the
park to watch the search for the body.
The river victim was born in Woodsfield, the son of Hubert
and Maud Leasure Brown, Dec. 23, 1936.
Funeral services
will be held Thursday at 2:30 p.m. at the Mt. Tabor Methodist Church
near Stafford. Burial will be in the
cemetery there. The body will remain at
the Hadley Funeral Home until the services.

Subject: Re: USS Kearsarge,
May 31, 1948
.
I definitely remember that
night very very well as I was the quartermaster of the watch on the quarterdeck
with the Officer of the deck (OOD). I
had traded duty for that day with my good buddy, named Dollard. We both had
just passed our seaman 1st class exam and he wanted to go ashore to buy our
seaman's stripes and call his girl friend long distance as the ship was going
to the Mediterranean Sea and would be gone for 6 months. So I had the 8-12
watch at night on the quarterdeck.
The ship was at anchor in
Hampton Roads, it was stormy and the sea was very choppy. Liberty was up at 10
pm and some of the liberty launches were having a difficult time making it to
the gangway to off load the men, Marines & sailors, because of the seas
& strong winds. It was very dark.
On the quarterdeck, I could
see that this particular launch was heavily loaded with men, none of whom had
life vests/jackets. The launch because it had more passengers in it than I
personally thought it should have, was having the bow of the launch not riding
up over the oncoming wave, but plowing thru it more often than not. Suddenly,
when the launch was about 100 yards off the gangway there must have been a
larger wave going over the bow and it swamped the launch which altho didn't
sink it, it caused panic and the men started jumping off the boat and tried
swimming to the ship. The current in Hampton Roads is very strong and many
didn't make it.
When we on the quarterdeck
saw the boat in distress, the OOD sounded General Quarters, I was directed to
phone the Captain and the Admiral about the situation. I started recording the events in my QM
logbook, the Boatswain's Mate was ordered to get a boat off to pick up
survivors. The duty signalmen were
phoned to turn on the searchlights to assist locating swimmers. Not all men in
the boat jumped overboard as the wooden craft was still barely afloat off the
ship. The Boat Officer was a young Ensign who didn't know that you can't load
more men in the craft than safety allows. I think that what happened was that
this was the last liberty boat to come back to the ship and lot of sailors
& Marines waited until that last boat. I imagine that the Boat Officer
didn't want to leave anyone behind.
Admiral Spruance came down to
the quarterdeck to learn from the OOD just what the heck happened and what was
being done to rescue the men. I don't remember much more about that night as to
what I did. I do know that many men drowned that night in trying to swim to the
ship, some were swept out to sea by the strong current.
The next morning every man
regardless of what his watch station was, had to muster down on the hanger deck
for a visual muster. Those who could not be there was checked visually by a
petty officer who personally knew them. The Red Cross came aboard to let those
who wish to send messages to loved ones to let them know that they were alive,
did so. My close friend, Dollard was among those who drowned.
It was the following day that
the ship got underway for the Med. Sea.
There was a Court of Inquiry about how & why did this happened. The
young Ensign who was the Boat Officer was punished for ignoring the number of
bodies a launch could carry safely. Other officers were also given reprimands.
So I well remember that dark
stormy night until the day I die. I hope that I have given you the information
you wanted. How did you find my name to ask me about the Kearsarge?
I stayed on the Kearsarge for
a year and then transferred off the ship to join my younger brother on a
destroyer in Key West.

task
Of service and of love,
So their promotion early
comes

And now has entered into rest.

She is survived by here husband, two children, father and
mother.
She united with the Methodist church when but a girl and
was a devout Christian throughout life, teaching in the Sabbath School for many
years.
Mrs. Polen was a teacher in the public schools for several
years, teaching in Miami and Tampa, Florida, also in the Lewisville
schools. She was a member of all the
community organizations.
To her relatives and close friends she was the hub and all
looked to her for help and care.
May those who mourn her passing find comfort and consolation
in the poem by John Greenleaf, Whittier, from "Gone."
We miss her in the place of prayer,
And by the hearth-fire's light,
We pause beside her door to hear
Once more her sweet "Good-night."
There seems a shadow on the day,
A dimness on the
stars of night,
Like eyes that look through tears
Alone unto our Father's will
One thought hath reconciled,
That he whose love exceedeth ours
Hath taken home his child.
Fold her, O Father, in thine arms,
And let her henceforth be
A messenger of love between
Our human hearts and thee.

Mother; Step-Father
Questioned In Death Of 7-Year-Old Youth
Boy Is Found Hanging In
Clothes Closet
Couple Hysterical, Held By
Police
The mother and stepfather of seven-year-old John A. Smith
were detained in Clark County Jail Thursday afternoon, pending further police
interrogation about the boy’s hanging death.
Mrs. Linnie Elix, 32, and Roger Elix, 22, sobbed
hysterically during questioning at police headquarters, earlier in the day.
They steadfastly maintained that young Smith killed himself.
Coroner Austin Richards reported death was due to
strangulation, after he performed an autopsy Thursday morning.
Booked on open charges of investigation, the couple were
taken into custody after the boy was found hanging in a clothes closet of his
home Wednesday night at the Veteran’s Housing Project, 330 S. William* st.
The step-father appeared bleary-eyed and disheveled when
escorted into the interrogation room at headquarters. A painter by occupation
he served as a tank operator in the Army during World War II.
Police said they encountered considerable difficulty in
questioning Mrs. Elix. She has been reportedly suffering from a mental illness.
First word of the boy’s death came in an emergency call at
5:52 p.m. to Central Engine House for the inhalator squad. Platoon Chief Luke
Marmion, Lt. Joseph Heinzen and Fireman Robert Bowsier responded.
On arrival at the dwelling, the men were directed to a
bedroom where the step-father was giving the boy artificial respiration.
Heinzen took over the task and at the same time attempted to learn
circumstances of the boy’s condition.
The couple gave police and firemen this version of the
incident:
They were sitting in a bedroom when John walked past the
door and entered a closet. When he did not come out after a few minutes, they
investigated and found him hanging by a leather belt.
Mrs. Elix ran to a nearby dwelling unit to telephone for
the inhalator squad while her husband untied the belt and applied artificial respiration.
Platoon Chief Marmion said the boy’s body was still warm
when the squad arrived. The cord about the boy’s wrists had been cut, but the
wrists were deeply bruised and bleeding slightly, Marmion added.
Police said an inspection of the cord’s knots showed they
were tied extremely tight. A cardboard box found in the closet, and police said
the boy possibly could have stood on it to tie the belt around a coat hook.
The victim’s hands were tied so tightly that rope burns were
plainly visible.
Firemen found the knotted
rope hanging loosely from the boy’s ankles where it had evidently fallen after
being cut.
Police began to question the mother and stepfather in
separate rooms in the home, trying to gain a coherent story of the events that
led to the calling of the fire department emergency squad.
Elix told the officers he had returned home from work at
The National Supply Co. plant some time after 3:30 p.m. He stated he had a
headache and his wife made him lie on the floor of the living room for more
than an hour. During this time, Elix said the boy was playing about in the
room.
Later, he stated he went to the bedroom where he reclined
on the bed. Elix said the boy began playing with a BB-gun in his own bedroom
and that he (Elix) reproved the boy. This led to a violent argument between the
two and Elix ended it by placing the boy in a chair.
Elix told the officers that he and his wife returned to the
bedroom where they remained for half-an-hour, during which time they heard
nothing further from the boy.
The stepfather told police he then began to search for John
and after looking in the kitchen, and the boy’s room, he parted the paper
curtain hung over the closet opening and saw the body of the boy slumped
against the rear wall.
While he applied artificial respiration, his wife ran to a
neighboring residence and called the firemen.
Elix stated he had had considerable family trouble since
his return from the Army a year ago.
Police had considerable difficulty constructing a story of
what happened.
The boy’s wrists showed deep rope bruises where the knotted
clothesline had dug deeply into the flesh.
Authorities also stated the leather trunk strap reportedly
used had cut two deep lacerations in the boy’s neck.
The closet in which the boy’s body was allegedly found was
about four feet wide, seven feet deep and seven feet high. At the rear was a
shelf for hat storage and directly underneath was the wooden bar from which the
stepfather said the body was hanging. Underneath the bar was a wooden box,
evidently used for soiled clothing.
The Elix home is a unit in an emergency housing project
located in the S. Williams* st. area. It is a four-room affair, consisting of
two bedrooms, living room and kitchen.
The bedroom in which Elix stated he and his wife were
sitting was next to the closet where they said the boy hanged himself. The
walls of the home are of thin composition board construction.
Residents in the same unit stated the family had moved in
about six months ago. They also said that numerous quarrels had been heard in
the Elix home at all hours of the night.
Mrs. Elix talked volubly to the officers. She answered
readily the questions put to her by police but little light was thrown on the
affair by her.
Both protested vehemently in police headquarters any
connection with the boy’s death, other than the discovery of the body. Elix
seemed the most affected by the boy’s death and was visibly shaken with sobs as
he told his story.
In deep contrast to the confused scene which presented
itself in the Elix home with the presence of firemen and police was a
quietly-sleeping, seven-week-old daughter of the couple who lay in a crib in
the bedroom which the couple claimed to have occupied.
The infant slept through the visit of the investigators and
the attending noise and confusion, rousing only a few minutes before the mother
was taken to police headquarters for questioning. The baby was taken to the
Springfield City Hospital for care until the case is disposed of. **
Indications of family trouble were found when police discovered
a note stuck in a table lamp in the living room. While its contents were not
divulged, Coroner Richards said it referred to domestic difficulties between
the couple.
The boy’s father was identified as Chester Smith of 320
Lafayette av., Urbana.

*This street was spelled differently [William – Williams]
in these two paragraphs.
** The death certificate listed this death as "accidental
hanging."
