Services will be held at 2 p.m. at the Toledo Funeral Home for George I. Amundsen, 45, of 916 S. Fir street, who died Monday morning, presumingly of a heart attack, after having fallen from a gillnet boat in the Columbia River at Astoria.
Interment will be in the Newport cemetery.
Mr. Amundsen had been a life-long resident of Toledo where he was born December 6, 1913. Most of his life he had been a commercial fisherman on the Yaquina Bay.
Surviving are his widow, Nellie; a brother Alfred and his mother, Mrs. Hannah Amundsen, all of Toledo.
He had been in Toledo Sunday visiting his family but returned to Astoria where he had been fishing this summer. Apparently the Toledo man fell overboard during the early motning but was dragged from the water by Earl S. Pulliman, Astoria, who operated the boat.
