ROCK ISLAND MAN, 20, SEINING BAIT, DROWNS IN RIVER
Tommie Henry, 20 of Rock Island, drowned at 5:15 last Thursday afternoon while seining for bait where Skull Creek empties into the Colorado River.
He is reported to have been a good swimmer. There is a 10-foot stepoff at the spot where he went under, and it was believed by Justice of the Peace Earl J. Frnka, coroner, that he suffered a cramp.
Henry was clad in blue jeans and heavy GI combat boots, and the boots may have added to his difficulty, Judge Frnka said.
His body was recovered about four hours after the accident when Chas. Rau and Tommie Selner, Columbus firemen found it with grappling hooks.
J. C. Trapp, on the other end of the seine when Henry went down, said both were in water up to their armpits. Henry called for help, he said, but he was unable to reach him in time.
Lester Hudson, third man in the fishing party notified the sheriff's office. Firemen, game wardens and others joined in the search, several bringing boats.
The victim leaves a widow and a child four months old. He was not regularly employed. [Interment in Myrtle Cemetery]
