Drowned In Higgins Lake In 1921

A University of Michigan student drowned at Higgins Lake in August of 1921. Some of my favorite childhood memories were from Higgins Lake. I always thought of it as "safe" since one could venture out far from shore and still find shallow water. But it was not safe for Emerson William Jones who drowned at Higgins Lake in Roscommon County, Michigan, on 7 Aug 1921 and was buried in Toledo, Ohio.
