Ernest Degagne was almost 10 years old when he was playing with friends and wading in the Willamette River near the foot of Porter St. when he fell in to deep water and drowned. The two friends that were with him knew he drowned but said nothing until the police came looking for them. Ernest's body was pulled from the river by grappling hooks near where he went in. A sad day that was, back in 1924.
