FRANK VORACEK Jr.
(1891 - 1923)
SECOND VICTIM IN YEAR IN RIVER DROWNING MONDAY
Body of Frank Voracheck(sic), Employe of Saw Mill Recovered Next Morning
The Neshoto River claimed its second victim of the year Monday when Frank Voracheck lost his life just south of the Monroe Street Bridge. The body as recovered Tuesday morning after the river bottom had been dragged for 12 hours. Voracheck was employed by the Schroeder Lumber Company and was at work on his lonely job of straightening the log booms when the accident occurred. Though no one actually saw the drowning, it is thought that the man in some way fell out of the boat and went under in attempting to reach the shore. The body was found within four feet of the bank by Casper Feuerstein and William Waskow who had been assisting the coast guard in the search. The coroner was notified but no inquest was deemed necessary.
Voracheck was first missed when Arnold Zander, the mill foreman went to confer with him n some detail of the work. His pike pole was found sticking in the river, his boat drifting and his hat afloat. The coast guard was immediately sent for.
Voracheck was unmarried and was 32 years of age. He has resided in this city the past fifteen years coming here from Kewaunee with his parents, who have passed away. He has made his home with his brother, James, 1712 Twelfth Street.
Deceased who had many friends and acquaintances in the city, is survived by three brothers, James of this city, Henry and Joseph of Menominee and two sisters, Mrs. Louis Trotman of Kewaunee and Mrs. Scheibel of Uniondale, Mich.
The funeral was held Thursday afternoon from the home.
