LOUIS SACHSE
From Der Nord Westen, 16 Aug. 1888:
Last Sun., 6 boys from Centerville took a sailboat out onto Lake Michigan; they were Alfred Keune, Gustav Keune, Friedrich Kuhl, and brothers Frank, Wilhelm, and Louis Sachse. The water was quiet, but somehow the boat turned over. The boys clung to the keel for a while, but at some point the boat rolled and threw them into the water again. Louis Sachse disappeared. The other 5 clung to the boat until help arrived. Louis was age 16 and the youngest son of John Sachse, postmaster in Centerville. Search for the body
still continues.
