Harry L. Wyman, 24, painter, died attempting to save G. Allen Seltzer, 25, designer, from drowning, Bougher, New Jersey, August 21, 1913. Seltzer, who was a poor swimmer, became distressed in deep water in Rancocas Creek. A young man near him did not feel able to lend aid, and he called to Wyman. Wyman waded and swam 35 feet to Seltzer and caught him under the armpits. They went down so that only the tops of their heads were visible, then Wyman kept Seltzer’s head above water for a time. After drifting 10 feet with the tide, Wyman called for a canoe to be brought out. Before the canoe could reach him, he and Seltzer sank and were drowned. 12883-950
