Waukon - An 18-year-old boy who last week graduated from Waukon senior high school, drowned Sunday in the Mississippi river. Authorities said Victor Lee Christianson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Hilmen Christianson, was wading in a portion of the river at Black Hawk state park near DeSoto, Wis., when he apparently stepped into a hole.

Christianson was born Jan 20, 1959, at Waukon, and attended schools here. He is survived by his parents, three brothers, Richard, Robert and Steven, all at home, and a grandmother, Mrs. Hilmen Christianson.

Services for Victor Lee Christianson will be Wednesday at 1:30 at the Old West Paint Creek Lutheran church with burial in the church cemetery. Visitation will be held at the Martin funeral home in Waukon until 10 p.m. Tuesday.
