"Fatal Accident" Tooele City, July 15 1878, Editors Deseret News: There was drowned in the Twin Springs Dam, on Saturday, July 13, a son of Brother Joseph Henson of this place. The deceased was a long with two of Bro. Orme's sons and two of Bro. R. Skelton's bathing in the mill dam , while attempting to swim across, he went down, almost taking one of Brother Orme's boys with him, who had went to his assistance. The other boys tried to render all the assistance they possibly could, but without success. The deceased was one of the apprentices in the co-op. shoe shop. He was about 20 years of age, and a lad of promise, full of intelligence, and willing to assist wherever it was needed. He was lame and had to walk with the aid of a stilt. Only a few days previous to his death he said he would like to have as much money as to take him to the St. George Temple, for his faith was that if he could only have the ordinances of the Temple he could be cured of his lameness. The intelligence of his death cast quite a gloom over our Sunday School and Young Men's Associations. An inquest was held over the remains by Charles A. Herman, Justice of the Peace, anf a verdict of accidental drownig rendered in accordance with the facts. S.S.
