Upset the Frail Craft
And Kronenberger Drowned in the Little Miami
Miss Baer, His Companion, Saved From Death
By a Camper Who Went To Their Aid After a Fisherman Failed at Rescue
Treacherous undercurrents in the Little Miami River, at its junction with the east fork of the stream, caused the death of Harry L. Kronenberger, a young Cincinnati attorney, living at 3456 Burnet avenue, by drowning late yesterday afternoon. He was 25 years of age. The young man was a member of the Willow Club, which is composed of a number of local attorneys. At dusk he started out in a canoe from the camp in company with Miss Dorothy Baer, a stenographer in Squire Dumont's office, who formerly lived at 807 West Eighth street, but who at present resides on Kemper lane.
The young couple paddled up the river to a point just opposite the Spotless Town camp, where there is a fine bathing beach. At this point the bed of the river takes a sheer drop of about 10 feet and danger signs had been staked out in the river by members of the Spotless Town Club. Mr. Kronenberger started to leave the canoe to go in bathing, when it upset and threw both into the water. Kronenberger called to Miss Baer to follow him into deeper water and they would then return to the boat and right it.
His Last Words
He had no sooner uttered these words than a strong eddy pulled him down and he disappeared from sight beneath the waters. Miss Baer was a few feet away from him at the time, and the current was fast, carrying her on to the deeper water. She called loudly for help, and James Cook, a fisherman, who was near by in a large boat, responded. As he approached the spot where Kronenberger sank a strong eddy upset his boat and threw him into the water near the middle of the river
A member of the Spotles Town camp of the name of Withering saw the man and the girl struggling in the water, and immediately put out from shore in a small skiff. He reached the spot where Miss Baer had been seen just as she was being pulled beneath the surface by the strong current.
Saved Both of Them.
He succeeded in getting her into the skiff after a hard struggle, and then went after Cook, whose strength in the meantime was rapidly giving out. He, two, was got into the boat, and both were taken to shore. Dr. Walter Brown was summoned. The fisherman was none the worse for his experience, and went away before his name could be learned. Miss Baer, however, suffered a severe shock, and was removed to the clubhouse, where Dr. Brown resuscitated her.
A short while later the body of Kronenberger was recovered by a party of young men from a near-by club, who had set out upon a search for it after learning of the accident. When brought ashore sparks of life were found by the physicians, and a valiant effort was made to bring him to. Shortly after being taken to the Spotless Town clubhouse he expired. Coroner Cameron was notified of the affair, and Deputy Coroner Coe performed an autopsy on the body. The remains were turned over to Undertaker F.B. Maertz, of this city.
Harry L. Kronenberger was engaged in the practice of law with former Police Court Prosecutor Benton Oppenheimer, and had offices in the St. Paul building. He resided with a married sister and his aged mother on Burnet avenue. Owing to his mother's feeble health she was not notified of his death last night, as it was feared that such news would result in her death. Kronenberger was well known in Jewish social circle in Avondale, and his death caused a great shock among his many friends.
