Daughter bf Mrs. Alina
Driscoll Is Drowned
Mrs. Leroy Guyton, age twenty-five,
the second daughter of Mrs. Anna
Driscoll, of Hico was drowned in Lake
Waco last Sunday about noon when
she fell from a motor boat into deep
water while riding with a sister, Miss
i Pauline Driskill, ansi other relatives.
Mrs. Driscoll, the mother of the un-
fortunate young woman, is well known
to Clifton people, she being born and
reared here and made this her home
until her marriage to Mr. E. C. Dris-
coll of Hico, now deceased.
This tragedy has brought to Clif-
ton friends much sorrow and their
sincere sympathy goes out to the be-
reaved mother, sisters and other rel-
atives of the deceased.
The following facts concerning the
tragedy were taken from the Waco
Times-Herald of Wednesday, the day
the body was recovered from the lake:
“The body of Mrs. Leroy Guyton,
who was drowned in Lake Waco, Sun-
day when she fell from a motor-boat,
was recovered about 2 a. m. Wednes-
day by a party of searchers patrolling
the lake in a five-passenger motor-
boat. It was one-half mile up the riv-
er channel from where she was
drowned, and was floating about 75
feet from the bank. Brought to shore
at the Central Texas Boat club land-
ing in the boat which discovered it,
the body was brought to Compton fu
neral home in an ambulance.
“Funeral services are to be held
from the Baptist church at Hico Thtis-
day at 10:30 a. m., the ambulance
bearing the body leaving Waco about
8 a. m. Besides her husband, Leroy
Guyton of 2306 Sanger avenue, Mrs.
Guyton is survived by her mother,
Mrs. E. C. Driscoll, and a sister, Miss
Pauline Driscoll of Hico, and another
sister, Mrs. Oliver Rosemond of Dal-
las.
“Search for her body has been car-
ried on day and night since she fell
into the lake from the stem of a mo-
torboat, during a picnic on the lake
Sunday at noon. Futile attempts to
recover the body were made by divers
and with grappling.hooks, while boats
and an airplane patrolled the lake
many times. Eleven charges of dyna-
mite, each containing 10 sticks, were
set off in the lake Tuesday afternoon
in the hope that if the body
