It was about 6:30 PM when the boy, who was with his friend Arno Graf, drove the cows back to Wm. Meyer's pasture after they had been milked. In order to shorten the way home, the boys crossed the river at the milldam, with the accident victim, crossing first on the small wall. Apparently, he must have taken a wrong step and fell into the water that was about 12 feet deep at that point. Arno Graf, saw the accident and immediately ran to the neighboring house of Mr. John Voss.
