She went out in the water and was never seen more.There was a man named Bell lost in this lake at Nan's Bridge. There were also three men lost at boat races in Hazelwood. Namely Gallagher, Conway and Kilgallen. There was a song composed about them. The old method they had for finding the corpses of those drowned in the lake.
