Frederick W. Lee, 21, boiler maker, died attempting to save Lulu Rhodes, 18, from drowning Ingram, Missouri, May 28, 1905. Miss Rhodes was in a boat with five others when it upset, 55 feet from the bank of the James River. Two of the party were drowned, and three swam to the bank. Miss Rhodes clung to the boat. Lee took off his shoes and coat and dived from the bank and swam toward Miss Rhodes. When he came near, she turned from the boat and threw both arms around his neck, pulling him beneath the surface. Lee was unable to free himself, and both were drowned. 9677-895
