Lucius F. Woodruff, 20, clerk, died attempting to save Harry L. McVicar, 21, clerk, from drowning, Rahway, New Jersey, January 2, 1914. McVicar broke through the ice on Rahway River, at night, about 40 feet from the bank, where the water was 15 feet deep. He kept himself up by clinging to the ice. Woodruff skated to a point 40 feet from the hole and could dimly see McVicar’s head. He crawled toward the hole on his hands and knees, but when he was about 12 feet from McVicar, the ice broke, and he fell into the water. He was drowned, but McVicar was taken from the water in a short time by means of ropes and ladders. 12358-896
