Body of Little Garnet McCready Found
Floating in the Willamette.
The mystery surrounding the
disappearance of six-year'old Gar
net McCready was solved Thurs
day by the finding of her lifeless
body floating on the surface of the
Willamette river. " The discovery
was made by E- A. Mills, uncle of
Garnet, and Chester Zumwalt,
who were patroling the river in a
boat, in the hope, that if drowned,
the body of little Garnet might rise
to the surface of the water. The
boat, in company with another,
manned by Emery J. Mills and a
brother of the unfortunate child,
had begun the watch at eventide,
and as darkness settled down, had
lighted a bicycle lamp with which
to continue the vigil. At one
o'clock in the morning a dark ob
ject appeared floating on the sur
face of the water, about the middle
of the river, opposite the John
S wick place, two miles north of
town. The boat was quickly pull
ed nearer, and the" strong light of
the lantern soon told the watchers
that the object was the ' body of a
child. A moment more, and the
uncle gently lifted the little form in
to the boat, and at once recognized
thedripping mass as the mortal re
mains Of the missing Garnet. The
body was brought at once to Cor
vallis, where at four o'clock the
following afternoon, a quiet funer
al, flowers and a white casket clos
ed the' chapter that begun eight
days before in the sudden - disap
pearance and long continued search
for the little girl. J. D. McCready
the father of Garnet, had been with
the party in the boats until mid
night, when he put ashore and
peared. He said that he had been
impressed all along that the child
had no business on the boom, and
for that reason had paid particular
attention. He also said his eyes
were eood in viewing: obiects at a
distance and that there was no pos
sibility of a mistake. In passing it
may be remarked that the finding
of the body brings conviction in the
minds of all that it was Garnet Mc
Cready 'that Mr. Moore saw" on the
boom the fatal afternoon of the dis
appearance, r, ".'.'"'
A query, closely allied with this
common conviction is, who is f he
boy that was with. Garnet, and did
he see her fall into the river? V
In bis testimony before the cor'
oner's jury, Samuel Mills, grand
father of Garnet, with whom she
--went out to pick cherries, declared
the garments on the child to
be the same that she wore when
lat seen. " He told the story of the
visit to the cherry tree, of how he
missed his yoUng) companion with
in a short time after he began pick
ing' and of other circumstances, all
of which have been hitherto related
in these columns. The verdict of
the jury was to the effect that the
body was that of Garnet Mc Mc
Cready, and that she came to her
death by drowning, as the result of
accident. '
The last act in the chapter of dis
appearance and bereavement occur

and at Crystal Lake cemeteryV At
the former was the funeral, conduc

bvRev. T. T. Vincent. The au

was well filled with friends and

the party. On the way back with
the lunch, he met the, boats bear
ing the body of his lost child.
The - facts connected with the
discovery of the body were brought
out at an inquest held at the un
dertaking rooms of Coroner Wil
kins early Thursday morning. The
coronor's jury was, J. W. Craw
ford, foreman. W. J. Howell, J. C.
Taylor, B. F. Seely, W. G. "Lane,
and William Crees. . Dr. Pernot
was the attending physician, and
after examinations.of the ' remains,
announced it as his opinion that
death resulted from drowning.
Samuel Mills, grandfather of the
child, identified the t,ody as that of
Garnet McCready. he jury was
presenf while the physician ; made
the examination. . -
Of other witnesses, Emery Mills
testified as follows: '"We were on
the river, switching back and forth
in the stream. We began the look
out at half past, nine, and watched
until half past one a. m. The boys
were getting cold, and in . order to
warm up we began racing up the
river. Five or six rods above where
we began racing, we saw an object
and circled about it E. A. Mills,
said to us, 'I guess it's she.' I
said, "Yes, it's Garnet.' Then" we
backed up close and drew the body
in'o the boat- This was , probably
three rods from the west' shore.
The body . was floating, face Jup,
We brought the bod up to the
landing at the foot of Polk . street.
We did not remove her from, the
boat Chester Zumwalt was sent
to notifi the coroner, who came
down to the river and took charge
of the remains.' . v '
E. A. Mills said: Between one
and two, we found her in the river,
and took her into the boat. She
was floating on the surface of the
water at a point about 100 ' feet
fronTthe, west shore. The place is
said to be opposite the John Swick
farm-, north 01 Corvallis. As we
raced np the river, our backs were
turned up stream, and we did not
see the object until we had passed
if. Ed McCready was in the boat
with me, and he recognized the
body as that of his sister."
Chester Zumwalt gave testimony
corroborating the statements of the
others, adding that it was the pur
pose to keep up the patrol of the
river until the body was recovered.,
J. H . Moore wHo was the man
that saw a child out on the' boom
testified that he was picking cher
ries in the Gerber orchard the after
noon of the disappearance. A boy
and a girl, came down the hill and
passed the tree where he was
picking cherries proceeding y 'to
wards the log boom that stretched
out into the river below. He pla
ced the ,, ladder : that he used in
picking against the tree, and before
he went up, noticed the little girl
out on the log boom. She wore a
red dress and black stockings. She
was singing and dancing along the
boom and was waving her hand. I
He climbed his ladder, and after
picking awhile tame down. While
in the tree, he could not see the
child, - After he came ; down she
was still playing onthe boom A sec
ond time he climbed the ladder and
picked cherries, but when he
reached . the ground and looked
again for the child she had disap-

tuted the ceremony; The song at
the grave was one that, in her life,
had been a favorite with the child.
Little Garnet would have been
six vears old, had she lived until
the day following her death. She
had been asked her grandmother
on Wednesday to bake an anniver
sary cake for her birthday, which
was to have occurred on Thursday.
The grandparent promised to bake
it the following day, a day that for
the little one never came.
The child was born in " Colorado.
Her mother died a month after,
and Garnet was reared by her
grandparents. In spite of her
youth, she could read newspapers,
the Bible and books with the fac
ility 'of a grown up person, all from
instruction given her by Samuel
Mills, her grandfather. She was a
bright little girl, of beautiful ' dis
position, and ' in the breavement
caused by her passing, the relatives
have the sympathy of all Corvallis.
