Step son of Dr. Giddian Worth. Nodaway Democrat - Aug. 19, 1882 Last Sunday afternoon at two o'clock two boys aged eight and twelve years, step sons of Dr. G. W. Worth, were drowned in the Nodaway river at the outlet of Corker lake. The boys were in bathing and it is supposed one cramped and while the other was attempting to save him both drowned. Their bodies were not recovered until Monday morning when they were brought but by a hay rake. They were found about 40 yards from where they sunk with their arms around each other, just as they went down. Later information regarding the sad affair is that some boys who were near by when the drowning occurred are suspicioned of driving the boys into the deep water by stoning them. The boys drowned were named Willie and Hardy Grooms. The boys who were present when they sank did not report the accident until some three hours afterwards. The occurrence is the theme of much comment.
