    "Elizabethton Star," Thursday, July 14, 1932
    CANTER YOUTH FUNERAL HELD
    The final rites were conducted this morning for Ernest Canter, 17, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Canter, who drowned in the Watauga river yesterday afternoon at two o'clock at Pleasant Beach near the Bemberg filter plant. The funeral, in charge of the Rev. Carter, was held at the Canter home near the scene of the tragedy.
    Burial was made in the Mottern Cemetery.
    The drowned youth is survived by his parents, two sisters, Gracie and Lydia and two brothers, Bernie and Howard.
    The father was janitor at the Duffield school.
    The youth, together with three boy companions, were in swimming just below the suspended bridge at Pleasant Beach, when according to T. H. Houston, who was on the bank fishing, Ernest Swam out in the middle of the stream away from the other bathers.
    "I saw him go down," said Houston. "It was in the middle of the stream where the water is about 12 feet deep. He came up once, but he didn't yell for help – he just waved one of his hands." "His friends tried to save him, but they didn't get to the spot in time."
    Divers and men and boys in boats using drag chains and hooks on poles worked for one hour and 20 minutes before the body was located and brought to the surface by divers.
    Young Canter's body was found several feet upstream from the point where witnesses said he went down. This place had not been dragged until the area downstream was thoroughly combed.
    Several hundred people watched the hunt for the body from the riverbank.
    The doctor who examined the body said he thought the boy had drowned following a heart attack.
    This is the first drowning in Carter County this year.
