| 8011 |  | Obituary- McGuire, John H. 1 Two Dead. It is generally believed that two persons, John McGuire and Mack McAfee, an old colored gentleman, were drowned in the flood. They lived on the Mulvane island and nothing has been heard or no trace found of them since Friday last. All that day the two men with Jim McGuire worked incessantly to save their stock. In the evening Jim and John succeeded in landing a few things at the Mulvane ranch, leaving the old darky to watch the stock. Against the advise [sic] of all John took the small boat and went back to the island to bring away McAfee. That was the last seen of him. It is presumed that McGuire reached his home and with the colored man started back but in their exhausted condition they were unable to cope with the high waves and strong current and were wrecked in the trees. Friday night cries for help were heard by the people at the Mulvane ranch but there was none to venture out in the darkness and possible destruction for their relief. The river and island have since been searched for traces of them but nothing has been discovered. Later. Yesterday (Thursday) John Lillard and Nick Bush found the boat used by McGuire, in the timber southwest of the Mulvane ranch. It was bottom side up and had lodged between two trees. Searching parties have gone out today to look for the bodies. [From The Shawnee County News, Friday, June 5, 1903] | |
