Ritchie-Drowned, in the Bonnechere River at Douglas on the 24th Dec., Robert (Ritchie), son of Mr. James Ritchie, aged 9.
A sad accident occurred at Douglas, Co. Renfrew, on the 24th Dec., when Robert Ritchie, son of Mr. James Ritchie, blacksmith, was drowned in the Bonnechere River. He was with two other boys who had come to the river to skate. The ice was bad and he broke through. One of his companions got in and was trying to assist him but got out again at once. The other boy ran home and gave the alarm. The boy was still clinging to the ice when they returned and though every exertion was made by the few who were on time, the ice broke up and the little fellow sank and was drowned. Great sympathy is felt for the family.
