ANDREW DONALD DEATH
[Welland Telegraph June 26, 1903]
A sad drowning accident occurred Thursday of last week in the river about three-quarters of a mile below Queenston, when Andrew Donald, of this town lost his life. Along with some companions from the Falls, Andrew was picking strawberries on the farm of a man named Armstrong. At noon all went to the river for a swim. It is not known just at present how the accident happened, but Andrew was not a very expert swimmer and probably got beyond his depth. There is a strong undercurrent in this part of the river and it may have drawn the lad down. The other boys could give him no assistance, and they hurried away for help. At the time of writing the body had not been found. Andrew Donald was 14 years old and resided with his mother on Park street. Much sympathy is expressed for the bereaved family in their sudden loss.
