Locked in death’s embrace, the three children of Jacob Martin, a farmer living four miles southeast of Savannah, went down to death in the 102 river last Sunday evening, June 14th, while wading in the stream. Ludwig and Teressa [sic], twins, 14 years old, and Anna, 12, were the victims of the triple drowning. Their bodies were recovered within two hours after the tragedy, the twin boy and girl being together, while the younger child’s corpse was found fifty feet farther down the stream.
