The first death from drowning in Meadow Park Lake took place Sunday afternoon when Comer Blaylock, 16, walked into the lake near the dam and stepped into water over his head and was drowned.

The young man could not swim and was wading near the dam. Those who saw the accident said the man sank but once. It was some minutes before the body was recovered. Two or three persons made an effort to reach the body but failed. Paul Copeland, who was running a boat on the lake, made one dive and recovered the body.

Dr E W Mitchell and Dr V O Buttrum were summoned and every effort possible was made to revive the youth, but without avail. He was given shots in the heart and arm in the hope of restoring heart action, but all failed.

The young man was the son of Mr and Mrs James Blaylock who reside at Cumberland Homesteads, where funeral services were held Monday noon by Rev W M Beasley. The body was taken to Brotherton for burial with brief services at the grave. He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J A Blaylock; 2 brothers, Claude and Opheus; and 2 sisters, Gertrude and Mrs Woodrow Cooper; two half-sisters, Mrs. Boyd Bilbrey and Mrs. Bethel Ray of Shady Grove community; one half-brother, Jackson Blaylock, Brotherton. One sister, Ruth Blaylock, and one half-sister, Clara Cook and one half-brother, Chester Cook, pre-deceased him.

Comer was born in Brotherton; he converted at First Baptist Church Homesteads and baptized in 1938.
