September 3, 1908. -- "SAD DEATH OF L. E. McGARGILL".-- While swimming in the Nishna river about four miles north of Randolph on last Saturday, L. E. McGargill suddenly cried out for help and sunk before help could reach him. His body was found in about 12 feet of water and the physician examining his body, pronounced his death due to heart failure, no water being found in his lungs. Apparently he was dead before he sunk in the water. Together with a party of friends he had gone to the river for the purpose of fishing, and while they were preparing a lunch he went into the water to show them how deep it was. After swimming around awhile, as stated, he suddenly called for help and must have died instantly. He was the son of Edw. McGargill, and with his brother, William McGargill were the only sons of that family.He was in his 38th year; was married and is survived by his wife and five young children, who will sadly mourn the loss of a kind and indulgent husband and father. Lou McGargill was one of the kindest hearted of men and his friends are numbered by his acquaintances. He will be sadly missed in the community of his home. His funeral occurred at Imogene on Monday, August 31, and the services conducted by Rev. Father Hayes, in the St. Patrick's church in Imogene, after which interment was made in the Catholic cemtery.
