CAWOOD, James Henry - James H. Cawood, 11 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. H.E. Cawood, living east of Springdale, was drowned at Butler Ford, White river, last Sunday. The lad, who was not a good swimmer it is said, dived into eight feet of water and was not seen again by his youthful companions. The body was not found until the next day, fifty feet below the spot of the fatal plunge.

Springdale, July 1.- While his two small playmates looked on helplessly James Henry Cawood, 10 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Cawood, was drowned at Butler's Ford, northeast of town near the Cawood home, close to White river Sunday afternoon. The body was recovered late Monday morning by John Barry Graham, a neighbor. The three small boys had gone out to play. One of the group jumped into the water, strangled and came out. The two boys stayed out but James went in and went under. The little boys, frightened, remained around the ford for some time before they went home and reported the tragedy to the boy's parents. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at Friendship, east of Springdale, with the Rev. Mr. Ballew in charge. The boy leaves his parents, four brothers and a sister.
