1911: An alert passenger: "Harry Ostrander, of this city (Easton), proved himself a hero last evening when he jumped into the Lehigh River and rescued a little boy, who no doubt would have drowned in a very few minutes had it not been for the quick action of Ostrander. The little boy was walking along Dock Street, accompanied by a young girl, when they were overtaken by a trolley car. The girl got safely to the road but, in order to escape being hit by the trolley, it was necessary for the boy to jump down the bank and he landed in the water. His plight was seen by Ostrander, who leaped from the car and, without losing a moment's time, hurried down the steep bank, waded into the water and carried the boy safely to shore. The little fellow appeared none the worse for his experience."
