		Sam Patch, the Jersey Leaper, was the earliest of the well-known daredevils of Niagara Falls, but little is told locally about his fate in nearby Rochester.
		He was in his late teens when he gained local fame as a daredevil by jumping feet first into the Blackstone River from the top of a high building in Pawtucket, R.I. Then he made similar leaps in New Jersey, thus attaining the name Jersey Leaper.
		In the spring, when the ice had thawed, his body was recovered near the mouth of the Genesee River.
