TWO CASEVILLE BOYS
DROWN
ROY WILSON WENT TO HIS
DEATH TRYING TO RESCUE
LLOYD WIGHTMAN,
AGED 22 AND 18 YEARS
With a hundred or more of others the boys
were in swimming. These two boys were
beyond the sand bar at the county park.
Suddenly Wightman seemed to be taken with cramps and called for help,
saying he was drowning.
These are the first deaths from drowning
that have taken place here in many years.
It is said that Wilson who was a good swimmer, rescued several young
people from danger of drowning, just a few minutes before he went to his own
death.
Roy Wilson was well known in Bad Axe. He is a nephew of Mrs. Lee Terwilliger and attended high school there a few years
ago. He is survived by his father, Wm.
Wilson, brother
to Mrs. Terwilliger.
Young Wightman was a son of William
Wightman, a prominent farmer in the vicinity.

Mr. McLeod attended the first wedding in

deceased built the first road between Port Austin and Elkton and also the first
lumber camp in that vicinity. He worked
for a number of years in the lumber camps of Laugdon
Hubbard and J. R. Learned. About two

Mr. McLeod endured many hardships incident
to the early settlers of the county and had some very narrow escapes. During the big fire of 1871 he spent three
days and nights on John Exceler’s farm, where all
fought for their lives and one girl was burned to death.
This aged pioneer was well known to most
of the early settlers of the county and he enjoyed their highest esteem and
friendship. He was always a good citizen
and Christian gentleman and was called a friend to everybody.
Funeral services were held on Saturday
under L.O.L. auspices. The services were conducted by Rev. Chapman with
interment in the Oliver cemetery.
