Boy accidentally drowns in Yampa River From the Friday, July 20, 1934, edition of The Steamboat Pilot: Frank W. Potter, age 13, accidentally drowned in the Yampa River on Monday afternoon when he slipped into a deep hole about a mile west of the depot where he had been wading and swimming with a group of boys.
Looking Back Articles from our archives
Frank was not a good swimmer, and when he got into the deep water, he went under. Some of his companions attempted to bring him to the surface, but
he pulled them into the water, and they were forced to go for help. The body was recovered a little before 6 p.m. when William Gossard succeeded in catching a hold of one of Potter’s feet with a grappling hook. He and Jack Johnson located the body by swimming around in the vicinity of the accident. The water was murky, and it was difficult to see the bottom of the hole, which is
estimated to be 12 feet deep. Frank was born in Steamboat Springs on May 20, 1921, and had lived here all his life.
