At the Hands of Tragedy
When the Dunbars realized their son was missing, they were naturally horrified. It started an eight-month-long search for the missing boy. Mrs. Dunbar, in particular, was grief-stricken to no extent. The Caldwell Watchman, a Louisiana newspaper, featured a story about the incident in 1914.

“When he [Bobby] was missed, a search traced him to the banks of Lake Swayze…At first, it was feared that he had been drowned, but the lake failed to give up the body, and the little boy’s hat was found some distance from the lake a day or so later.” The entire town grieved with the Dunbars’ tragedy.
