74 Years Ago
The November 13, 1952 Colorado Transcript featured "Golden Woman Saves Boy From Drowning In Clear Creek."
Two 5-year-old boys, walking home from kindergarten at Mitchell Elementary, stopped to play near the Ford Street bridge. One of the boys fell in the Creek, was knocked unconscious, and remained face down in the water. His friend ran down the street, screaming for help.
Just then Mrs. Groshon happened along and asked hysterical Ronnie what the trouble was. Upon learning, she ran to the creek, dragged the Ames boy out from the chill waters and applied artificial respiration. As soon as [he] began regaining consciousness, Mrs. Groshon took him to a nearby house and called the police department. Chief of Police Ed Dohlman, Deputy Everett Hall, and Officer Paul White responded immediately. They unclothed the boy, wrapped him in blankets, and took him home where he was treated by a private physician and put to bed. He is now reported to be in good condition.
Mrs. Groshen said she had taken a Red Cross First Aid class during the war and had learned to give artificial respiration. She said she wanted to take a refresher course and encouraged everyone else to do the same. “You never know when it may be your responsibility to save a life.”
