SOLDIER FROM CAMP
CROFT IS DROWNED
Private Harold Hileman, 21, of
Ca«m Croft, near Spartanburg,
firowned in Lake Lanier Sat
aHfernoon about 1 o’clock.
Two companions, Privates Wil
liam F. O’Hara and Humbert
Betti, said that Hileman, a native
of New Kensington, Pa., dived in
the lake and failed to come up.
The body was recovered an hour
and a half later. Boy Scouts and
others assisted in recovering the
body which was in water 18 feet
deep. The body was recovered
with the aid of grappling hooks.
Tryon physicians, who were
present when the body was
brought from the water, tried to
revive the man.
After Hileman failed to come to
the surface after diving into the
water, fear was expressed, that he
had become entangled in some
thing. Later, however, this theory
was not held as Hileman had been
/k'T^Sotlm a bathing suit and noth
.hfgJpRras seen that would indicate
he had been trapped at the bottom
of the lake.
Camp Croft officials came for
the body soon after it was recov
ered and took it to the camp in
an army ambulance.
