TABLE ROCK ARGUS, Friday,July 23, 1920. (pg.5) Baby Drowned in Tank- Little John Alvin Porr, fifteen months old son of Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Porr was drowned Tuesday last at their home south of this city when the little fellow accidentally fell into a tank of water. The tragic ending of this young life, so fraught with hope and expectation by the fond parents, has weighted their hearts with grief. When his absence from the house was noticed Mrs. Porr began a search of the premises but as his whereabouts could not be established and she could receive no response to her calls, she called Mr. Porr from the field and with his assistance a more thorough search was made. Finally, after passing the tank several times, the lifeless little form was found therein. Resuscitation was attempted by the use of a pullmotor, but to no avail. Just how the little one fell into the tank is not clear, but it is presumed that he stepped up onto a gasoline can and losing his balance fell over the edge. Funeral services were held from the home at 10 o'clock Thursday morning, conducted by Rev. Ernest Molloy of the Christian church, and the remains interred in Four Mile cemetery. To the grief stricken parents is extended the sympathy of all.-Humboldt Standard (Posted courtesy of the Table Rock Historical Society.) The US Nebraska Census (March 11, 1920) has his age at 10/12.
