Young Lancaster Man
Meets Tragic Death
The tragic death of Shirley B. Niabit,
whicdi occurred about threethirty
o'clock Thursday afternoon at
Fort Bragg, N. C., has caused widespread
sorrow and regret throughout
Lancaster county. Shirley was a
member of the party of six boys who
went to the Citizens Military Training
Camp at Fort Bragg on the 10th
of June. The information first reaching
Lancaster late on Thursday evening
was to the effect that he had
been drowned in the camp swimming
pool. Later information would seem
to confirm the belief that it was not
strictly a case of drowning, but rathi
er that he suffered a heart attack
while in the water, and died as a result
of it, as life guards and surgeons
worked with him for hours before
they abandoned the effort to resusciate
him. Shirley had gone to the
swimming pool to take the lifeBavers'
swimming teBt that is a part of the
training given at the camp and it is
a source of satisfaction to his relatives
and friends to know that he died
as a soldier would wish to die?in the
line of duty and in the effort to qualify
for the saving of others.
Chaplain L. M. Hall of the camp
came to Lancaster late on Friday
evening bearing letters of condolence
to Mr. and Mrs. J. I). Xisbet, Shirley's
parents, from Colonel Cox, commander
of the camp, and also a diagram
of the pool and a description of the
circumstances attending the tragedy,
und stated that, as mentioned above,
he died in lira of duty. To q?ot?
from the official record:
"Witnesses said he Kank without an
outcry. A comrade who attempted
to rescue him was pulled under the
water, and both boys were brought
aahore by Sergeant Adart Adams, a,
life guard. All efforts to resuscitate
the young man proved futile, although
Gapt. J. F. Liberman of the
medical corps, the life guards and
two of his comrades worked for four'
hours. Philip Eisman of Marion, S.
C. and Walter Jones of Rockingham,
Citizens Military Training Camp students,
were commended for their intelligent
and helpful efforts a resuscitation
of their comrade, in a special
order issued by Colonel Creed F. Cox,
commanding officer."?L ancaster
