FOUND DROWNED
The body of the six-year-old son of Ludwig Seegar recovered from the Canal.

This morning the dead body of the six-year-old son of Ludwig SEEGAR, who disappeared from his home, No. 19 Mt. Hope avenue, on Monday was announced in the Union of that date, was found.  As had been feared by the parents, the little fellow died in the canal.  Some men who were removing the sodgrass from the canal near the weighlock found the remains of the unfortunate child about 10 o'clock.  Coronor DANINGBURY was notified and an inquest was held, the jury finding a verdict of death by drowning, but being unable to explain how the body came in the canal.  The parents of the child have been in the country but a few months and the loss of their child weighs heavily upon them.

The second son of our well-known townsman, A.
