July 21, 1930PORTAGE BUSINESS MEN DROWNED IN SEEKING RELIEF FROM HEAT WAVE
DAY'S SECOND TRAGEDY OCCURS AT LAKESIDEA second swimming tragedy occurred here Sunday when Lemuel S. Berry, 48, well known implement dealer, who was among a large number of Portage people seeking relief from Sunday's terrific heat in the lakes and streams in this vicinity, was drowned shortly before 8 o'clock that evening when he stepped off a ledge into 20-foot water in Swan Lake at Lakeside.
Mr. Berry, who with his wife and family, were visiting at the Anton J. Lohr cottage Sunday evening, was swimming with a group of people after supper. The water at that point is only a few feet deep and Mr. Berry was teaching his children to swim, it is reported.
He had been out near the deep water beyond the ledge, came near the shore, and returned to the deeper part of the lake, when his friends heard his cries for help.
Difficulty Loosing Boat
A number of the swimmers had already come in, among them was Mr. Lohr, who just finished dressing as he heard Mr. Berry's cries. He ran at once for his boat. Chas. Luetke had just brought the boat in, chained it, given Lohr the keys and taken the oars up the hill to the cottage.Mr. Lohr was unable to find the keys as they were not on the top of the boat house where he keeps them. Otto Isberner, who was also in the water, but not a good swimmer, hastened to the shore, seeing in the boat the best means of rescue. Together, he and Lohr tugged at the boat and finally wrenched it free, while someone was sent for the oars. As they ripped the boat loose, Mr. Berry disappeared for the last time.
Mr. Berry is survived by his widow, a son William, 8, and daughter Betty, 4, a brother, Fred J. Berry and sister, Mrs. J. B. Cook.
