An 11 year old Cherokee county boy drowned Thursday in a
private lake near Acworth. The dead youth was Jimmy Cargile, son of Mr. and Mrs. T.J.
Cargile of Morgan Road. His body was recovered
at about 3 p.m., two hours after he drowned.
Tommy Cargile, 12, said he and his brother and two other
youth, Max and Randy Grabel, had gone to the lake to pick berries. Jimmy went out in the lake in a boat, he said. The next thing he knew he was calling for
help in the middle of the lake.
The youth’s body was recovered by J.C. Jolley and Billy Tow
of the Acworth Civil Defense rescue team, and Jimmy Burchfield.
