100 Years Ago - 1903
A floater was found in the river Thursday morning and landed near Little Rock.  The body was that of a boy about 13 years old and rather refined looking.  As it was perfectly nude it is supposed that the boy came to his death while out swimming.  The whiteness of the skin indicated that the body had not long risen to the surface.  An inquest was held Thursday morning and the body was buried in the city cemetery.
