98 YEARS AGO TODAY John Edward Power. Lost in the woods, North West Arm July 24 1921. Aged 13 years. Here is what happened (a thread.) @HolyCrossHali @CaCemeteryHist 
The Morning Chronicle noted that July 24 was hot and sunny. It was a busy day for bathers on the NW Arm. “The single and other picnicing spots on the arm were yesterday taxed to capacity.” Photos and clippings via @NS_Archives
“Probably the largest crowd of bathers this season were present yesterday on the arm. The boating clubs were crowded and all along the shore those that did not belong to any particular club took advantage of secluded spots to prepare for a swim.”
