Notes for LILLIAN VERNELL BAILEY:

5 JUN 1914, Chariton Co. newspaper obit.

Mrs Estel Lake, a bride of less than two months, met death by drowning at Sterling, Colorado, Sunday evening. The accident followed a day's outing on the banks of a big reservoir (North Sterling Reservoir). The party came to an irrigation ditch which it was necessary to cross on a plank, a foot wide and three inches thick. The ditch was about ten feet wide and fifteen feet deep, through which water ran like a mill race. Many people had crossed safely but just before Estel Lake reached the bank the board snapped and his young wife, who was following him fell into the torrent dragging him with her. The water was ice cold and the shock numbed the faculties of both, but Lake made heroic efforts to swim to the bank with his wife. A rope was thrown to their aid, but it was too short. The current finally swept Mrs. Lake from her husbands grasp, and she was carried rapidly down the stream.

Charles Bailey, the young woman's brother plunged to her aid, but was unable to stop her. Another man jumped into the ditch, but he, too, was powerless. The body was finally washed over a shallow bar into a pool twenty feet deep, where it disappeared, and was only recovered with a grab hook after life had passed away.

The remains were brought to Marceline for burial, accompanied by the young woman's husband and brother. The funeral services will be conducted at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bailey, near Bynumville, today. Her maiden name was Miss Lillie Bailey, and she was married to Estel Lake, April 6, 1914. She was eighteen years old.

It has only been about two months since funeral services were conducted for Mrs. Charles Bailey, who was brought here from Colorado in failing health, which adds to the general sorrow of the neighborhood over this tragic occurrence.
