I came across a newspaper article that details the events surrounding the death of Orville, son of Marion, and his cousin, George Overturf, son of Jacob Overturf. Orville was slightly older than his cousin, but both were around 16 years old. The article incorrectly gives their ages as 19 and 16. Gerry (G47).

The boys were bathing and the younger got beyond his depth in the swift current. The older one tried to rescue him, but was powerless. The bodies have been recovered.
