"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Monday, July 3, 1922 RESCUES A DROWNING BOY. William MOSELEY, 23 years old, 816 South Boeke street, Kansas City, Kas., learned to swim in the Kaw River. He was standing on the Twelfth street bridge yesterday afternoon, watching a party of boys on a raft in the river and remembering when he was a boy "out there." One of the boys slipped from the raft and began to cry for help. Forgetting his Sunday clothes and stopping to throw aside only his hat, MOSELEY leaped from the bridge into the river. He reached the drowning boy and brought him to the bank in safety. While MOSELEY was the center of an interested group of admirers who had witnessed his dive, the boy he rescued was hurried away by his companions, who had paddled to the bank. "Nothing to talk about," was the way MOSELEY described the matter last night. He appeared to be annoyed by the many congratulations he was receiving. "I have been scared many times just as much as that boy was," he added. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
