Sherwood - Drowned at Lowville A sad drowning accident occurred at the dam at Lowville on Sunday evening last, when Carman Edward Sherwood, son of E.D. Sherwood, Freeman, lost his life. The deceased with a couple of friends went to Lowville dam for a swim. He had crossed the pond once, and on the return trip sank in about fifteen feet of water. He was noticed to disappear in the water, and when he did not return to the shore, his companions became alarmed and shouted. Receiving no reply, several began to dive for Mr. Sherwood, but his body was not recovered until about half an hour later, when the water had been let out of the pond. Dr. G. Tweedie, of Kilbride, was on the scene when the body was recovered, but life was extinct. Dr. W. A. Weaver, coroner, of Burlington, was called but decided that an inquest was unnecessary. A post-mortem examination revealed death was due to heart failure, and that Mr. Sherwood was dead before he sank beneath the surface, according to a statement by Coroner Dr. Weaver. There was no water found in the lungs, despite the belief he had been drowned. The deceased was born at Freeman and was in his thirtieth year. He was member of the Trinity United Church and took an active part in church work. He was a member of Rev. G. F. Kelly Bible class at Lowville United Church, and was very popular and beloved by the people of the community. Since the death of his uncle, Mr. W. Jay, six years ago, he had managed the farm for his aunt, Mrs. S. Jay, and had proven himself a successful farmer. He is survived by his father, E. D. Sherwood, and Mrs. Sherwood, one brother, William, and a sister, Shirley Sherwood. The funeral, which was largely attended, took place yesterday afternoon from the residence of his father to Greenwood Cemetery, Burlington.
