New York, 1895
Benjamin Dove, of Lakeville, was drowned in Success pond on Wednesday afternoon. Dove was an expert swimmer, and was displaying his powers when he lost his life. He attempted to swim across the pond five times. The distance across is half a mile, and on his third trip over he was attacked with heart failure and went down.
—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, June 28, 1895, p. 1.
