August Steffen, a brick-layer residing
in the 7th ward was drowned in the river last Monday morning. Steven was 34
years of age, unmarried and resided with his mother on 21st street. He left
home Sunday evening, taking a net for sucker fishing. The net was found Monday
morning at the north western bridge and the body was found at the same time
floating at the foot of State street. Mr. Steffen had evidently fallen off the
bridge accidentally. The heavy clothing, darkness and cold water would then
make saving himself difficult. He is survived by his mother, three sisters, Mrs.
F. Dueno, Mrs. August Bellber, and Mrs. Ernest Dueno and a brother William. The
funeral was held today.
