Notes par Jay Adam Oliver

Saskatchewan Herald, July 10th, 1901 Sad Drowning Accident. A sad accident occurred on Monday afternoon resulting in the death by drowning of Jay Adam aged 12 years the eldest son of Mrs. J.G. Oliver. The steam ferry was on the other side of the river, and Oliver and his two companions - Forbes, son of Dr. Macadam, and Edward, son of Engineer Howell of the ferry - were on the landing float on this side. Howell says the three were on the float together, he with his back to the others. The first he knew of the accident was seeing Oliver floating past with his hands above the water. He made no outcry. He sank and rose three times before finally disappearing. Macadam says Oliver was trying to catch logs with a pike-pole. He was tying his shoe at the time and did not see Oliver fall in. He heard a splash and turning around saw Jay floating away. The river was running very fast.The river was very high and muddy, and as soon as the alarm was given in town, after the accident, search was instituted by both civilians and Mounted Police, but without success, as the strong current must have carried the body far down the stream. A reward of $50. is offered for the recovery of the body.The lad`s father is at Great Slave Lake and his sister Annie visiting at Prince Albert." Jay`s body was never found. His drowning was a terrible blow not only to the Oliver family, but to the whole community of Battleford, because many others had sons who played and worked along the river and it could have happened to any one of their sons too.
