Shortly after entering the water she sank and rose to the surface twice. A young man from Stanley dove several times and pulled her out, but too late.

She leaves to mourn her untimely death, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Martin Borowick, two brothers and two sisters. The funeral took place on Tuesday morning from St. Hedwig's Church. Interment followed in the nearby cemetery.

Thank you for posting Josephine's obituary on the internet. I just ran across it a few days ago. She is my aunt. I knew she had drowned at a young age and this information is a wonderful addition to our family history. Thank you.

Florence (Borowick) Jones.
