Miss Theora Crumrine, of Zanesville, formerly of Woodsfield, was drowned while on a boating party on the Muskingum river, four miles south of Zanesville Sunday. The Crumrine girl together with Donald Painter, Herbert Fitch and his sister Jerry all of Zanesville had spent the afternoon on the shore where their boat shipped water and sank. Fitch and his sister escaped death by swimming ashore.
The body of Painter was discovered a half hour after the accident. Shortly after that the body of the Crumrine girl was recovered from the water. Efforts were made by firemen to revive the two drowned. They worked over the victims with the inhalator for more than an hour.
Miss Crumrine was fifteen years of age. She was a daughter of Mrs. Olive Crumrine of Zanesville and Walter Crumrine of Akron. In addition to her parents she is survived by one sister Mrs. Grover McKelvey, of Zanesville; one brother, Paul Crumrine of Akron; three uncles, Lawrence and Jacob Marple, of Woodsfield, and Vernon Crumrine, of Woodsfield R 4 and her grandmother, Mrs. Mary Friday of Woodsfield. Many more distant relatives and scores of friends are deeply grieved by her death.
She was a sophomore in Lash High School, Zanesville and was a member of the Woodsfield Church of Christ. She moved to Zanesville about two years ago.
The body was brought to the home of her grandmother Mrs. Mary Friday on Monday afternoon in charge of Elder Forrest Moberly of Graysville.
Interment was made in Oak Lawn cemetery.
