We are informed a party of five young men were crossing Bradly's Lake, Caledonia, on Sunday 11th, in a canoe and the canoe sank. Two of the party, Michael CONWAY and Cornelius CONWAY, age 14 and 16, respectively, were drowned. Their bodies were recovered a few hours afterward. They were the sons of John CONWAY who was found drowned near the toll bridge in this river some years ago. - 'Liverpool Advance'
