Jennings lost his life in the waters of New River near Barren Springs in Wythe county. Jennings, 38, who was employed at Carroll Hosiery here, was fishing with two other men, Sunday afternoon when their boat capsized, hurling the trio, all non-swimmers, into the water. The other two, Ambrose Semones of Hillsville and Bernard Allen of this county, scrambled 15 feet to the safety of the shore. The body of Jennings was brought up with a cistern hook by George L. Steele of Barren Springs, and the Pulaski County Life Saving Crew worked two hours in a vain attempt to revive the drowned man. The three fishermen were laying trot lines at the time of the mishap. Jennings drowned in 14 feet of water. He was a knitter for the Carroll Hosiery Corp. here. Jennings is survived by his wife, a son Gene Ray Jennings, Hillsville two brothers, Sterling Jennings, Leesburg and Bert Jennings, Welch W Va. Services were held at 2:00 pm Tuesday at the Hillsville Presbyterian Church with burial in the North End Cemetery.
