Der var kommet is på en lille sø i byen. Da Henrik og Kristian gik ud på isen, faldt de igennem. Hans Peter så det, og prøvede at redde sine to venner. Imidlertid druknede alle tre drenge.
Da drengen skulle begraves måtte dette foregå udenfor kirken, da der var mødt over 300 voksne og 200 børn op til begravelsen.

Der blev lavet en indsamling af byens borgere til en gravsten. Stenen er lavet af Billedhugger Niels Hansen Jacobsen. I midten er der et træ. På den ene side af træet er deres navne samt beskrivelse af ulykken.
