"Suffern Lad Absent from Dinner, Body is Found in Lake Antrim"
The body of Tony Morelli, Jr., ten year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Tony Morelli of Suffern was found at the bottom of Lake Antrim late Monday night by Joe Becraft. Monday night about 6 o'clock Mrs. Morelli called her husband and children to dinner but Tony did not appear. Later she remembered that the little chap had gone to the lake in the afternoon. She ran breathlessly to the lake and there lay Tony's clothes up on the bank. Alarmed and frantic with fear she notified her husband. At 8 o'clock Joe Becraft, standing on the bank beside little Tony's garments, dove into the deep water and came up immediately saying that he had found the body. The second time he went down he came up with the lad's lifeless form.
