13-Yr.-Old Moundridge Youth Drowns in Lake
Moundridge, Kan. — An accident at a newly opened recreation center northeast of Burrton last Sunday afternoon claimed the life of Glen Howard Voth, 13, of Moundridge, who lost his life by drowning while wading in a lake.
Funeral services for the youth, youngest of 15 children of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Voth, will be held Thursday forenoon at th First Mennonite Church of Christian here, Rev. Ralph Weber in charge.
It was reported that Glen and his sister Juanita, 19, both non-swimmers, were wading at the edge of the lake when Juanita suddenly noticed her brother was missing. A search party was formed immediately, but the body was not found for about an hour. Efforts to revive the youth by mouth to mouth respiration and use of a resuscitator were of no avail.
The new recreation grounds opened several weeks ago by Pete Schrag of Moundridge, include separate lakes for swimming, fishing, and boating.
