Millard Berry, T.J. Davis and P.G. Graham went down last night and we have not learned whether or not the body has been recovered. Lilly is a small station on the Frisco, this side of Van Buren, at which place Harvey was agent. He had been there but a few months but was advancing steadily. He was married last fall to Miss Delia Graham and his sad death is a severe blow to his young wife who is so suddenly made a widow. The loving father and mother are also bowed down with grief over the loss of their darling boy who was their only child and the pride of their hearts. The entire community mingles its tears of sympathy for the bereaved. We suppose the interment will be at this place. It will be remembered that Charley Hawn, another of Springdale's bright young men, was drowned at Kosoma, I. Ty. On August 11, 1892 while in bathing. He, too, was railway agent and was starting out in life with bright prospects.[The Springdale News - Springdale, Washington County, Arkansas - July 7, 1893] ******************* The remains of Harvey Pierce, who was drowned in Frog Bayou, near Lilly station, on Thursday afternoon of last week, were brought up Friday afternoon and interred in Bluff Cemetery. Funeral services were held at the grave by Rev. W.B. Johnsey and a large crowd of friends and sympathizers were present to pay a last tribute to this excellent young man. The particulars of the drowning are as follows: Harvey and a friend were in bathing about 7 o'clock in the afternoon when Harvey attempted to swim the creek at a point where the water was deep and rather swift. He was unable to stem the current and went down, his companion making a futile effort to rescue him. A search was instituted for the body but it was not recovered until eight o'clock Tuesday morning.[The Springdale News - Springdale, Washington County, Arkansas - July 14, 1893]
