Tragedies at the shore
From the New Jersey Courier of 14 Jul 1916: TWO LADS DROWN; SHARK GOT THREE MORE BATHERS First Drowning of Summer at Barnegat Pier Sunday Lewis Stoer, aged 19 years, was drowned at Barnegat Pier on Sunday while swimming. The body was recovered Monday and taken to his home at Palmyra. The boy's mother was prostrated by the shock. Stoer with his father, John Stoer, his brother Roy, and three friends, Frank and Conrad Windish, and Austin Raymond, came to the Pier on the Sunday excursion train for a days outing. Three of the lads went in swimming. Lewis swallowed a lot of water and seemed to be in difficulty, and the other two swam to him and held him up. He told them he was all right, but wh en they let go of him he went down and did not come up again. This was about 2:30 on Sunday afternoon. The body was found by Capt. Holmes Van Note on Monday at noon. Coroner Shuts gave a burial permit and his brother took the body home. WILL HARROP DROWNED IN ALMONESSON LAKE, MONDAY Will
