William W. Shier,a graduate of the law department of the U. of M., Class of '94, was drowned in Detroit River Sunday afternoon by the capsizing of a rowboat off Sugar Island. Two others were drowned at the same time. All might have been saved had it not been for the cowardice of a yachtsman who refused to go to their aid as he was afraid they might swamp him. Mr. Shier was 24 years of age, and was a bright, promissing young attorney. He had been for two sessions of the legislature a committee clerk, and after the adjournment of the late legislature had formed a law partnership with W. L. January, under the firm name of Shier & January.( William W. Shier memorial on Findagrave.)
