He drowned in Boston Harbor when the boat he was on was overturned by the wake of a larger boat on 7/6/1919. His name was John William (Willy) Webber. The info I have is not correct, because the story went that he was 18 when he died, but the DOB I have is 6/5/1905. I was also told that he has a memorial at Glenwood Cemetary in Everette, but Find a Grave has no record. His father was Edgar Webber and his mother was a Matthews? I am looking for more info on his parents as well. An obit or newspaper article on the incident would be very helpful. Thanks for any help you can give.
