Her neighbor, Otis
Bowman, began a search along
the five-mile stretch of road and
discovered track going over the
bank a short distance from where
the road leaves the highway.
Mr. Bowman had no lights so
he went to the home of Sheriff
Sabin and with the state police,
investigated and found w’here the
car had struck the trees, throw
ing out LeRoy’s lunch bucket, a
tire and one of his boots, as it
slid down the almost perpendic-
ular bank. Hitting the last tree
the car plunged straight down
into the river.
It was dark and the weather
stormy so the search for the car
was delayed until early Sunday
morning when w’ith a boat w'ith

Probing back and forth in the
location where the car went over
the bank, they succeeded in hook
ing into the back bumper of the
car, and pulled it back up to
the highway. The front steering
gear was so badly damaged it
was impossible to determine the
cause of the addivent. The body
of LeRoy was in the car, and
was taken to the Schroeder Mor
