The newspaper account of his death misspells his last name, it lists him as "Bennie Lurch".
The article says he was drowned in Cobden in a slough while trying to catch fish with his hands. He was with his brother who was in another slough, also "hogging fish" and who could not get to his brother in time.
This shared marker (with another brother, Louis Garrett Lerch) was not recorded in the late 1970s cemetery reading. It may have been placed here after that time.
