Drowned in pond at Desloge, MO near No. 3 mill. Information provided by L Lane: Lead Belt News 15 Jun 1923 The first drowning of the season in this section occurred at the Desloge Consolidated Lead Company's pond, near Desloge, Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, when Harold Boyd, 10 year old son of Mrs. Myrtle Boyd, of Desloge, and James Marberry, 12 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. James A. Marberry, of near Bismarck, lost their lives. The Marberry boy was spending a few days in Desloge visiting his sister, Mrs. William Holland, Jr. Mrs. Holland is also an aunt of the Boyd boy, her husband being a brother of Mrs. Boyd. During the time of the Marberry boy's visit, he and the Boyd boy had played together almost constantly. Shortly after noon on Wednesday, they took their bathing suits and went to the pond for a swim. The Boyd boy could not swim. The accident happened in what is known as the 'little pond.' Two other boys, Arnold Koen and George Counts, who were fishing in the 'gib pond' near by, saw the accident. They say the Boyd boy got beyond his depths. The Marberry boy swam to him and made an effort to save him. The drowning boy, in his struggles, pulled the other boy under. Some men, who were working a few hundres yards away, saw the two boys in the water, but supposed that they were ducking each other, as they had so often seen boys do in this pond, and gave no heed, going about their work. The two boys who were fishing near by, realized that something was wrong and went for help. When men which they called, arrived at the pond, nothing could be seen of the boys. A considerable delay was occasioned, a boat having been procured. When men of the rescuing party rowed over the spot where the accident had occurred, they saw the bodies at the bottom of the pond, the water having been seven feet deep and clear enought to detect objects on the bottom. The bodies were removed from the water and taken to the home of William Holland, Jr., where an inquest was held by Coroner C.J. Hill of Bismarck, at 7 o'clock. A double funeral service will be held for the two boys this afternoon at 2 o'clock, at the First Baptist Church of Desloge.
