KOZIOL--Former Columbus resident drowns at Lake Minatare
A former Columbus resident, Alfred P. Koziol, 25, drowned Saturday afternoon at Lake Minatare, about 12 miles northeast of Scottsbluff, when the boat in which he was riding overturned.
Koziol was with two companions, Walter Dermer, 33, Scottsbluff, and Donald D. Bauer, 27, Gering, in a 12-foot fishing boat which capsized about 100 feet from shore. The other two passengers reached shore safely.
Dermer tried unsuccessfully to help Koziol to shore, but Koziol apparently panicked and would not let him come near. He also failed to reach for one of the several lifejackets thrown to him.
The Scottsblff [sic] fire department rescue unit was called to the scene and searchers dragged the lake for almost an hour before the body was found. A 20-minute attempt to revive the Scottsbluff man failed.
Several persons were in the area at the time of the accident, but few boats were on the lake because of large waves and a strong northerly wind.
Koziol, the father of four small children, was employed as a delivery man by Hersch Packing company at Scottsbluff.
