Lucy Fred Drowned in
Kuskokwim, Coming
From Bethel.
A cloud of sadness was cast over Me
Grath Monday by the news of the
death, by drowning, of Miss Lucv Fred,
who was returning ou the Alaskan
on the Alaskan from Bethel to Niton
Forks, as the guest of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Nicollet.
The little girl, who was 12 years of
age, fell from the side of the boat, the
accident happening about four miles
above Napamute. Every effort was
put forth to save her, but she came to
the surface only once, when Mrs. Nic
ollet saw the little hands reach from
the water far to the rear of the boat.
Following the accident, Mr Nicollet
returned to Napamute and apprised
Commissioner C’ribbe and others of the
sad occurrence.
Everyone in the community knew
and loved the bright-faced little lass,
she having endeared herself with all
with whom she came in contact. She
had for almost two years, until recent
ly, made her home with Mr. and Mrs.
H. E. Carter, during which time she
had been a pupil in the McGrath pub
lic school. Three sisters are here to
mourn her loss—Misses Mary Fred,
Bessie and Ellen Fred, the latter hav
ing just arrived to make her home
here.
Mr. and Mrs. Nicollet, it is needless
to say, are completely grief-stricken
over the most unfortunate affair, in
which they have the sympathy of all in
the loss of their little friend.
