Death by drowning came to a 2 1/2-year-old Coudersport boy Tuesday night, tragic aftermath of a plunge into the Allegheny River. The tiny victim, Thomas R. Keck, was found about 250 yards downstream by his father, Richard Keck, about 5:20 p. m., less than 20 minutes after the boy was discovered missing. A physician, police, firemen and a telephone company worker rendered artificial resuscitation for an 1 hour and a half, but the boy failed to respond. He was pronounced dead at 6:50 p. m. Grief-stricken parents sat in a darkened room of the Keck home, on Eulalia St., hopeful to the last that efforts being made in an adjoining room to revive their only child would be successful. The drowning was listed as accidental. The only witness was a four-year-old playmate and neighbor, whose story that "Tommie stood on the fence, jumped into the river" led to the discovery of the child lying in a shallow place in the stream. The mother told police that she missed her son around 5 p. m. As she started a search, Yvonne Lamb, 12, who lives next door, told Mrs. Keck that her son's playmate, Edward Easton, had run to his home, adjoining that of the Lambs, and exclaimed, "Tommie jumped into the river." The Lamb girl was running to inform Mrs. Keck when they met. According to the Easton child's story, they had been playing along the river, which flows at the rear about 250-300 feet away, when, for no assignable reason, the Keck boy climbed onto a fence and leaped into the stream. The water at that point is about five feet deep and almost sluggish. The Easton boy later said that he tried vainly to pull his playmate from the water before running home to tell what had happened. He said "Tommie cried for help when he went in." The father ran to the river.-Neighbors joined in the search, tery, at Austin. made difficult by darkness. White boots the boy was wearing led to his discovery in the river at the rear of the Simmons barn. Lifting the unconscious child from the water, the father raced back to their home and summoned State police. Corp. George A. Auten and Pvt. Michael C. Evelock responded. In the meantime, a call had been put in for firemen to Join the search. Dr. H. C. Mosch arrived shortly after the police and began artificial respiration and administered adrenalin directly into the child's heart muscles. Firemen, who arrived shortly after, assisted. Later, an inhalator owned by the fire department was rushed to the Keck home and put Into operation. David M. Larson, of Bradford, a telephone company employe who said that, as a child, he had been pulled from a stream and revived after three hours, and Dr. Mosch, worked tirelessly over the boy. In a final desperate effort to revive the child, Dr. Mosch administered a second ampule of adrenalin. Meanwhile, scores of neighbors and friends, gathered outside at windows and doors, watched silently and hopefully, as the drama inside unfolded. One who was not present was "Eddie" Easton. He was sleeping soundly, unaware that his little sandy-haired playmate never again would rush into the Easton home and call out, "Where's Eddie." The mother, the former Marion Shelley, of Eldred, sobbed uncontrollably when efforts to revive the boy were abandoned as hopeless. The bereaved woman's husband, his mother and the Rev. Gordon W. Loomis, who was among the first to arrive when word of the tragedy spread, did all they could to comfort her. Thomas was born at Coudersport on July 9, 1946. He was the Keck's third child. Two children born previously died at birth. A funeral service will be held at the residence at 2 p. m. tomorrow (Friday), with Rev. Loomis officiating. The Grabe Funeral Home will conduct the service. Burial will be in Forest Hill Cemetery, at Austin. Survivors also include his grand-parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Shelley of Eldred.
