TRURO DAILY NEWS - LIDA WYLLIE Drowned in the Debert River While Fishing. Miss Lida WYLLIE the Victim, Her Two brothers Were Saved. Special Telephone to 'Daily News.' Folly Village, June 19th, 1901. A sad drowning accident occurred near this place this morning, by which Miss Lida WYLLIE, a daughter of Mr. Robert WYLLIE, 15 years of age, lost her life. Miss WYLLIE, with her two brothers, left here in a carriage on a trout fishing excursion up Debert River. They entered the bed of the river near Peter McNUTT's (...)ase, a short distance from their home, and while driving up the stream, with one wheel of the wagon running in shallow water, it dropped into an unnoticed hole. This precipitated the three occupants of the water, into the river. They all fell into a deep place, with seven feet of water in it. One of the boys had the reins around his neck at the time of the accident, and the other caught hold of the shafts of the wagon; both were dragged out by the horse. Miss WYLLIE was unable to save herself; the half-drowned boys drove rapidly to their home for assistance. It was between 15 minutes and a half hour before any help could reach the girl. It was then too late, all medical skill could do, would not resuscitate the girl, who had been in the water probably 25 minutes. The drowned girl was the granddaughter of the late Rev. W.L. WYLLIE for many years Presbyterian clergyman at Great Village.
