  [S3063] The Southern Mail (Bowral), Tue 6 Feb 1940 Page 2. Body Recovered. BOY WAS DROWNED. All doubts as to whether William Moen, a Mittagong Farm Homes boy, had been drowned or had run away were set at rest on Saturday when his body was found in the pool at Berrima -where he had been swim ming. Moen was with a party of boys from the Home who went swimming on Thursday; 25th Janu ary. He was missed when roll-call was made. Efforts to recover his body by the use of grappling irons and a diver proved unsuccessful and it was thought possible that Moen had taken the swimming party as an oppor tunity to run away. Some children picking blackberries near the swim ming pool first noticed the body, which was recovered by Constable Hardy, of Moss Vale, who was in the vicinity. Moen was 12 years of age and was of excellent character. Officers who had come in contact with him did not hold the view that he had run away as he was perfectly satisfied with life at the Homes.
