• Notes

  Rochester Times - Union Rochester, Monroe County, New York. Friday, June 16, 1944 Boy Drowns On Eve of Birthday Funeral services were being arranged today for Lloyd Whitney, 236 Oxford, drowned yesterday on the eve of his 17th birthday. Lloyd would have observed his birthday today by going to Buffalo to take his physical examination for Navy induction. He was drowned about 8 p. m. in the Genesee River near Charlotte, despite rescue efforts by two companions. He and Guy and Frank Manchester, 13 and 15 brothers, were swimming from a dock near Petten Street Extension. The brothers told police that Lloyd dived in, came up "with his arms waving," then sank from sight. The Manchester brothers dived in after him and tried to pull him out, they said, but the older boy was too heavy and too strong for them to manage as he fought wildly in the water. The three, with Angelo Cheleni, 15, and Peter Cheleni, 14, of 45 Latta Rd had gone to the river just after all five had had dinner at the Manchester home. The Cheleni boys, who didn't go swimming, telephoned for help nearby, after they saw the unsuccessful rescue attempt. Clarence Dengler of the Police Radio Division, using boat and grappling hooks, located the body about 15 minutes after Lloyd went under. Artificial respiration was tried. Surviving Lloyd are his mother, Mrs. Rosa Haige of Oxford Street; a twin sister, Calla, and his father, Theodore Whitney. A brother, Theodore Whitney Jr., 18, died last October.
