Obituary: A weird tale of the Dismal Swamp, chronicles the death of two men and a boy, literally swallowed up by the murky and sluggish waters of the canal, supposedly about midnight Saturday, January 5, 1907. C.C. WILLIAMS, PERCY ARNOLD and his brother, DAISY ARNOLD, were the victims. Persistent efforts made all day Sunday, January 6, 1907 and well into Sunday night and again resumed Monday, January 7, 1907 to recover their bodies, have been futile. The waters refuse to give up their dead. Just how the triple drowning occurred will, perhaps, never be known. No eye-witness to the dreadful affair can be found, which seems to indicate that WILLIAMS and the two ARNOLD boys met death in the darkness with their cries for assistance unheeded. Sunday morning, January 6, 1907, T.B. JOHNSON of Gilmerton, discovered a rowboat overturned near the canal, just a short pace up the bank, south of the village. This was the first indication of the drowning. The boat had turned turtle. Floating up the stream on its sluggish surface, JOHNSON found a broad brim felt hat. When the overturned boat was righted, beneath it was a derby. The felt hat was recognized as that of C.C. WILLIAMS, who went through Gilmerton on Saturday afternoon, January 5, 1907 accompanied by the ARNOLD boys. The derby belonged to PERCY ARNOLD. The identification was quickly established. A little
further up stream, toward the Deep Creek locks, high and dry on the shore, lay a shoe box. Wrapped up in this was a new pair of men's shoes. WILLIAMS and the ARNOLD boys lived together at Millville. Leaving that place, they walked about a half mile through a fringe of woods, came to a small landing on the bank of the Dismal Swamp Canal, where they stepped into the row boat to push on to Gilmerton. The trip to the village was made in safety. When they reached their destination, they moored the boat and took the trolley car for Portsmouth. This was early on Saturday afternoon, January 5, 1907. The car brought them to the city over the Gilmerton Division of the Norfolk and Portsmouth Traction Company's local system. It was getting along toward the 11th hour when they made the return trip to Gilmerton. They left the car at the end of the line and crossed the bridge at the terminus, which leads to the village. As they walked through the darkened paths, skirting the Norfolk and Western Railway Tracks, they were seen by a few belated villagers, but none saw them embark in the row boat for the return pull to the little private landing, from which they embarked for town earlier in the day. Shortly before midnight,
W.O. FERRELL, night watchman at the Norfolk and Western Railway draw bridge, over the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River, at Gilmerton, heard cries. There was but one or two calls for assistance, he says and he couldn't locate the direction from whence they came. It was
after he had opened the draw to permit the passage of a southbound tow boat. The tug went on southward in the darkness. After she had gone out of sight, toward the Deep Creek locks of the Dismal Swamp Canal, FERRELL heard the cries. Gilmerton villagers express belief that this tow boat, when it went steaming up the canal, sent a strong swell washing toward each bank. They think this swell turned over the boat and dumped WILLIAMS and his companions into the waters of the canal. The opinion is that the cries which FERRELL heard were from WILLIAMS and the ARNOLD boys, when their boat was turned turtle by the waves from the passing tug. All day Sunday, January 6, 1907, WILLIAM's friends and residents of Gilmerton, who joined in the search, dragged the waters of the canal. The bodies were not recovered. The tide rises and falls in the canal at Gilmerton and the bodies may have been carried on the ebb down the Southern Branch and into the harbor and maybe out to sea. WILLIAMS, who was a man of family, worked in the lumber mill at Millville as an oiler. He was steady and industrious. He leaves a widow and 1 little boy. The former was in Gilmerton all day Monday, January 7, 1907, disconsolate over her loss. The ARNOLD boys both worked at the Millville lumber plant which gave WILLIAM's employment. PERCY ARNOLD, the elder, was 22 years of age and his
brother, DAISY, was 16 years old. Tuesday morning, January 8, 1907, at low water, another effort will be made to recover the bodies from the Dismal Swamp Canal. It was agreed Monday, January 7, 1907 shortly afternoon, that efforts to secure them at high water would be practically useless, so the parties engaged in dragging the artificial waterway quit their work until Tuesday morning, January 8, 1907 at low ebb. They will take up the drag nets again. There are some doubts expressed, however, as to the probability of recovering the bodies in the vicinity of Gilmerton at least. The ebbing tide may have carried them well down stream Sunday, January 6, 1907 and Monday, January 7, 1907 ebb may have taken them still further from the fatal spot where the boat turned turtle and dumped the trio into the canal. |
