Hello,

I am connected to one of the 9 who drowned, also. I'd love to see newspaper
accounts, if any come your way.

Charlotte Derby, daughter of Charles Rufus Derby and wife Hannah Bowers was
about 17 years old when she drowned. She was on her way to Crown Point, NY
to see her grandmother Sarah Mills Bowers. I understand there is a group
tombstone in the Bridport cemetery.

Do you happen to know why John Balch was making the trip? I would think
these nine new each other or at least most of them.

Best wishes,
Emily
