Harvey E. Smith, 23 years old, and son of Mr. and Mrs. Barnett E. Smith of Boonville, was drowned Wednesday night while bathing in the McAlpine bathing pool at Charlotte.
Parties with Smith at the time say he became exhausted after swimming for some time and went down. Friends soon brought him to the surface, but they were unable to save him. Young Smith had been working in Charlotte for some time.
The deceased was married about two years ago to Miss Ollie Motsinger of Boonville, and she survives him, together with his parents. He was the only child of the family. Harvey had many friends here and in Charlotte who will be pained to learn of his death.
Funeral services were held at Boonville Baptist Church Friday at 11 o’clock and were conducted by Rev. Ward and Crutchfield. Interment was in the cemetery at the church.
