George F. Burba, 44, editor, saved Catherine Murty, 12, from drowning, Snyderville, Ohio, August 12,1909. As Burba let himself to the bottom of Baker’s Pond, 16 feet from shore where the water was eight feet deep, to locate the girl, who had sunk, his feet were grasped by her. Freeing one foot, he struggled to the surface several times but could not reach shore. He was able finally to crawl on the bottom to shallow water, dragging the girl with him. 4119-322
