Louis Herst (Hurst) was my Great-Great Grandfather. His daughter Helena, my Great-Grandmother used to tell the story of his drowning as I grew up in Tonawanda, NY. With the help of ancestry.com, I've just gained additional information about his life and have learned where he is buried. Thanks for providing these interesting articles involving his tragic accident. Regards, Jeff Adams
