Sad drowning accident
There is wide spread and heart felt sympathy with Mr & Mrs Frater, of the dairy, Bridgend in the loss of their little son Derrick, who was accidentally drowned in the Avon on Thursday. It seems the little chap was playing with another boy not far from the house door when he somehow overbalanced and fell into the water. The river was running fairly high at the time, and he was swept down the stream. His companion at once ran to the house and brought the distracted mother to the spot. The body was soon after recovered from the water, but life was found to be extinct.
