The little fellow, ten years old, drove a cow to and from a pasture and was after the cows when he passed the N pond in which another boy was having a fine time and he at once stripped off and went in and was seized with cramp or got beyond his depth, although there was only four feet of water in the pond. His companion ran to give the alarm but was so frightened that the ball players to whom he tried to tell his story did not heed him and he went on to Mr. Steffey's grocery and made himself understood. Abe Ross, a former resident of East Mahoning, and a friend of the Steffey family, reached the pool first and found the little naked body. At once he ran to the hospital, hoping that life could be restored, but it was too late as the time consumed by the .boy going home and the arrival of Mr. Ross at the pond was fully half an hour. Sloan was an only child. The parents were both raised near Marion Center. The father is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Ephraim Steffey, of near Ambrose, and the mother is a daughter of John N. Neal, east of Marion. The body was brought to Marion for interment In the cemetery on the hill."
