Arminio Marchetti, 14, schoolboy, died attempting to save Pasquale J. Parrillo, 13, schoolboy, from drowning, Oakland, Pennsylvania, February 3, 1924. While Pasquale was playing on the ice on the Susquehanna River, the ice broke under him at the edge of a hole, and he fell into water 20 feet deep, 85 feet from the bank. Arminio, who was much lighter than Pasquale, dived into the hole and supported Pasquale for five minutes. They then became separated. A boat was brought to the hole and Pasquale was rescued, but Arminio sank and was drowned. 24848-2094
