Pender Brame, a young colored man, who was working at the Plott road camp a few miles east of Danbury, was drowned in Sheppard’s mill pond Sunday afternoon, according to reports received here. It is said that he was riding in a boat and accidentally fell out of it. It was necessary to draw the pond off to find his body.
Brame was about 18 years of age and resided near Reidsville, in Rockingham county.
