Search Continues for Missing Youth

Grappling at Spednic Lake for Body of Billy Hamilton, Forest City [Special Despatch to the Daily Gleaner]

Forest City, N.B., Dec 13, [1938] - While the search pressed forward today with grappling efforts being carried out, there was still no result early this afternoon in the attempts to locate the body of Billy Hamilton, of Forest City. It is feared that the 18-year old boy lost his life in an attempt to paddle a canoe to a camp belonging to the family on Spednic Lake.
    The canoe was to be left at the camp for the winter. When the boy did not return, his mother gave the alarm, and searching aprties of neighbors set out to find the missing youth. They did not find young Hamilton, but they did come across evidence which may well point to a tragic mishap. The body of the little dog which accompanied him was found frozen to the ice along the lake's edge, and nearby was a glove worn by the boy. The canoe itself was found in the shore ice. It is believed that the light canoe may have crashed into the ice and thrown the boy out.
    When no trace of Hamilton was found, it was decided to attempt grappling, since it was believed his body might be under the ice. Corporal L. P. Ryder, RCMP, arrived here today from Woodstock to take charge of the grappling operations.
    Billy Hamilton is well-known in this district, a son of Mrs Hamilton and the late Arthur Hamilton, originally of Virginia. He also has three sisters in Bangor, Me., two sisters and a brother in Central America.

No Inquest Into Young Man's Death at Spednic Lake

William Hamilton Was Former Student Fredericton Schools - Body Recovered

There will be no inquest in the death of William Naudin (Billy) Hamilton, 18-year old resident of Forest City, N.B. and former student of Charlotte Street School and Fredericton High School. Dr. Charles MacKay, coroner of Fredericton, returned to this city early this morning after visiting Spednic Lake and investigating there the circumstances of the tragedy which cost the young man's life.
   With search and grappling being directed at Spednic Lake yesterday by RCMP Corporal L.P. Ryder of the Woodstock Detachment, and police from Maine, the body was found yesterday afternoon. The discovery allowed reconstruction of the way the boy lost his life.
   It was to take a canoe to a camp belonging to the family on Spednic Lake that Billy Hamilton set out on what was to be the last canoe trip of his life. Apparently he had crossed the lake and had returned. In pushing the canoe over the ice of the shore he went through the ice, judging from the signs and the tracks, and while he overturned the canoe while grasping it, he was unable to pull himself out by this means.
    Unsuccessful too was the aid either sought or offered by the large shaggy dog which accompanied him. Hamilton probably called the dog to the water, but pulled it in too in endeavouring to get out. The body of the dog was discovered by searchers Monday near the canoe.
   When found yesterday afternoon under the ice, the body of young Hamilton was fully clothed save for one gum-rubber and sock which he had apparently pulled off. The lake is free of ice save for that around the shores.
   Dr Charles MacKay of Fredericton was called as coroner. After investigating and questioning, a decision was that it wound not be necessary to hold an inquest. Dr. MacKay returned to Fredericton early this morning after a difficult trip to the border lake. The body of the young man was taken to his Forest City home.
   The victim of the sad fatality had many friends in Fredericton, he having made his home for a few years with the late Johnston McKenzie and his daughters while attending school in Fredericton. He was the only one of the family of Mr and Mrs Arthur C Hamilton to be born in New Brunswick, the other children having been born in Kentucky where Mr and Mrs Hamilton lived. They came to New Brunswick on account of Mr Hamilton's health and he acted as a guide. He died a few years ago. Besides his mother a brother, Arthur, in Guatemala, and five sisters survive: Mrs Lake (Katherine) in New Orleans; Mrs E.S. Perry and Mary Hamilton, Bangor, ME, Mrs Reed McIntyre, New York and Helen of New York, at present at home.
   The funeral of the late William Hamilton is being held this aftgernoon from the home of his mother, Forest City, with Very Rev C.J. McLaughlin of Debec Junction, N.B. officiating, and interment at Forest City.
