DROWNS AT CEDAR LAKE
Cedar Lake was the scene of a drowning accident last Sunday, which caused the death of Hugo Jaeger, 25 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. William Jaeger of the town of Centerville. The young man, in company with his father, and mother, brothers and sisters and three other families from the town of Centerville had come to Cedar Lake in the morning to spend the entire day at a family gathering. According to information at the lake, Jaeger had been in swimming for about three hours in the morning and again went swimming immediately after eating a hearty dinner. He, in company with his brother, Clarence, had been in the water but a short time when he was heard calling for help. He soon disappeared after nearly taking his brother, who sought to rescue him, to the lake bottom with him. He was taken from the water within a few minutes by parties who dove for him.
Resuscitation efforts by the Boy Scouts, Dr. Belinski of Manitowoc, and Dr. Knauf of Kiel failed to revive him.
The brothers were swimming from a raft close to the shore, but where the water reaches quite a depth. Hundreds of people were at or about the lake at the time of the accident.
The young man was 25 years of age on March 9, 1926 being born in the town of Centerville in 1901. In addition to his parents he is survived by a sister, Adelheit at home and three brothers, Walter at Milwaukee and Paul and Clarence
at home. For two years he had attended the University of Wisconsin where he was taking a course in agriculture.
Funeral services will be held at the late home at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, and at St.
John's and St. Peter's Lutheran church at Cleveland. The Rev. Ph. Sprengling will
officiate and burial will be make in what is known as the Kassa Cemetery.
