Noska, Leroy Alvin
Leroy Noska, 35, Drowns in Canal Last Thursday Evening
Leroy Alvin Noska, 35, was drowned in a tragic accident while fishing in the canal of the Lakeside Irrigation Company last Wednesday afternoon, June 18th, presumably sometime between 3 and 4 o'clock p.m.
Mr. Noska and two of his nephews were fishing at the river pumping plant. The boys were fishing at a bridge crossing the canal, while Mr. Noska was a hundred feet downstream. The boys reportedly left for a short time to get some water and upon their return missed Mr. Noska; however the boys were not alarmed at his absence and shortly thereafter went home. Their grandmother sent them back to wait for Mr. Noska but when he failed so show up just before dark, employees of the river plant were notified.
Local authorities and the county sheriff's office were contacted and when Mr. Noska's rod and reel were found on the bank, it was presumed he had slipped into the swift waters. Pumps at the plant were stopped and the water allowed to drop; however it was not until 2:00 a.m. that Noska's body was located a mile and one-half below the river plant by James Gertson and the man's brother, Reuben Noska. The men had traveled down the canal by boat, pulling it most of the way before finding the body lodged in some vines.
Justice of Peace Earl J. Frnka of Columbus was called to the scene and held an inquest and ruled that the man died of accidental drowning. Mill-Bauer Funeral Home ambulance brought the body here.
Members of the family said that lately the victim had been having spells when he "blacked out" and since he was an excellent swimmer, it is believed he may have had such an attack when he slipped into the canal.
Funeral services were held at 9:00 a.m. Friday, June 20th at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church with the Rev. A. W. Didner officiating. The body was then taken to Columbus for burial in the Columbus Catholic Cemetery. Serving as pallbearers were: Delton Heinsohn, Richard Meyer, Jimmy Noska, Bobby Zajicek, Arthur Stancik and Edwin Vaclavik.
Rosary was recited at Mill-Bauer Funeral Home at 7:30 p.m. Thursday and again at 8:00 a.m. Friday.
Leroy Alvin Noska was born June 10, 1923 at Frelsburg to Mr. and Mrs. Willie Noska. He resided during his life in Columbus, Bay City and Eagle Lake and was employed by a pipeline company.
Survivors include two children, Bonnie, 4 and Larry, 10, by a marriage with Elisie Sidle; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Willie Noska, who reside near the river pumping plant; one sister, Mrs. Herbert Stern of Eagle Lake; four brothers, Clemens and Willie of Columbus and Reuben and Archie Lee of Eagle Lake; his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Willie Zajicek, and a number of nieces and nephews. One child preceded him in death.
