William Egerton Saved, and Then Saved from Drowning, Aug. 6, 1925

William Egerton Narrowly Escapes Death by Drowning

William Egerton Jr., son of well known merchant of Mill Spring, had a narrow escape from drowning last Saturday. William had just been baptized in Green River and remained to take a swim. He got beyond his depth but was rescued and resuscitated.

He was afterward brought to Tryon by his uncle, Mr. W.H. Ledbetter, and son, Dan, of Uree, for medical examination, which proved him to be out of danger.
