W.F. Carmany, Three Little Daughters and Brother, Russell Carmany, 16, Smother Under Fickle Ice
One of the saddest drownings on record. When a Stow Township father took his children of tender years and his brother skating on the Cuyahoga River and all die struggling in the cold water, forever lost on Earth to mother and a babe of two years.
With only her 2 year old son to comfort her, Mrs Amelia Carmany sits at her home on the Tallmadge Road near Stow Corners and mourns the loss of her husband, three daughters and brother-in-law, who were drowned while skating on the Cuyahoga river near her home Saturday morning.
In a little room at the rear of the humble farm cottage lie the bodies of Webster F Carmany, the husband and father, aged 31; Russell Carmany, his brother, aged 16, and their three daughters, Florence, Helen, and Mabel, aged 9, 7, and 4 respectively. They were recovered from the river late Saturday evening by neighbors.
The funeral of the five victims will be held at Manchester, Tuesday afternoon at 1 o'clock. The remains will be taken from the Carmany residence at 8:30 in the morning. The school at Stow Corners, which the little girls attended, will be closed so that their classmates may attend the brief services, which will be held at the house before the bodies are taken away. Rev Chapman of Oberlin, who officiated at the wedding of Mr and Mrs Carmany, will conduct the last sad rites.
