Hello, Is there anyone on the list that is connected to this Leslie Watt? Thanks, Deborah Osceola Democrat March 5, 1908 After 4 boys had battled against floating ice in a boat in the river at Marshalltown they were hit by a floe and one of the lads drowned. The other 3 had a narrow escape. Leslie Watt, aged 14, was drowned within sight of his companions who were powerless to save him. The body was recovered a quarter mile below where the capsizing of the boat threw the lads into the river.
