Obit-
While a number of little boys were bathing in the river at Kinston, last Saturday 
afternoon, the son of Mr. David E. CURTIS, about 13 years old, was drowned. He 
could swim indifferently, and attempting to reach the bank from a boat lying near; from 
excitement or some other cause, failed & sank to rise no more.
