DEATH: Drowned at the mouth of the Cuyahoga River.

From a statement made by Alonzo Carter in 1858:
"In 1806, the channel was three rods wide, and ten inches deep. My brother went in there to bathe, and got on the bar. I was across the river in the field topping corn. I saw his hands out of the water and ran there as fast as I could. He was never seen any more. The river has never been so far east as it was then. "
