Clarence Henry, 42, machinist, died saving Russel W. Anthony, 11, and Stanley M. Leach, 13, schoolboys, from drowning, Port Clinton, Ohio, July 4, 1921. While swimming in Lake Erie 600 feet from shore, Russel and Stanley became weakened, being unable to make progress on account of currents. Henry swam about 40 feet toward the boys from a submerged bar and threw pieces of driftwood to them, on which they supported themselves. Henry then attempted to swim back to the bar but made no progress against the current, and although two young men swam to him and tried to support him, he sank and was drowned. Russel and Stanley were picked up by persons in a boat. 21730-1701
