FRANK P. OORNER, JR.
Marietta, March 13.—Word was re
ceived in Marietta on Saturday that
Frank P. Corner, Jr., son of Mr. and
Mrs. Frank P. Corner, will receive a
medal for bravery in the near future.
It will be remembered that on July
28, 1916, four young people came near
losing their lives and would have per
ished had not this youth ventured to
nudstreaui with an old batteau and
rescued them, in the Susquehanna
river opposite Marietta about 6.45 in
the evening. A party of three young
men and a girl from York came lroni
the York county where they
were camping, in a canoe, and when
returning the canoe upset. The river
was very stormy at the time and the
water was deep. Young Corner with
a number of other boys was swim- 1
ming at the time and licard the cries
for help. Corner started out in the
boat and when he reached them they
were about down and out and would
have perished had not Gorner reached
them when he did. Edgar R. Villee,
of Marietta, believing that Corner
should be awarded a medal wrote to
the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission,
and after investigation it was decided j
| they could not giv him a modal, KM
I it did not come within the scope ofj
| the Fund, although they thought the
I act was commendable. The Ralston
] Purino Hero Commission of St. Louis,
Mo., was next gotten in touch with,
and after an investigation, and testi
monials given by tho Rev. W. W.
Moyer, of the Reformed Church, and
Chester W. Rudisill, pharmacist at
the McCloskey Drug store, the com
mission has voted a medal for Corner,
and he will receive it with a great
ovation, if tho matter can be pushed
through, in the near future. The com
mission states: "Application has been
made for a Ralston-Purino Hero
Medal, for Frank P. Corner, Jr., of
Marietta, Pa., as he saved four people
from drowning on July 28, 1916, when
a canoe in which they were riding
upset In the Susquehanna river. Tho
case has been thoroughly investigated
by the Ralston-Purino Hero Commis-i
slon and a bronze hero medal has
been voted to Frank Corner. The
medal lias been engraved and will go
forward soon."
Messrs. Villee, Moyer and Rudisill
will arrange, with the assistanco of
others, for a public demonstration in
the near future, to be held in Central
Hall, to which the people of the
town will ho invited. A musical pro
gram is being prepared and promi
nent speakers will attend.
