Elkader Register, Thur., 28 July 1887.

Thursday morning the dead body of an unknown man was found by a Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul section man about two miles below Specht's ferry. The coroner was immediately notified and went up to hold an inquest, which he did. At the inquest it was learned that on Monday night a fireman named Henry Kohler, employed on the steamer Pauline, had accidentally fallen into the water and drowned, and that his relatives from Guttenberg, where he leaves a wife and four children, besides several brothers, were looking for the body. While the inquest was being held the relatives arrived and identified the body as that of the lost man.

The jury returned a verdict of accidental drowning, and the body was turned over to the relatives to be taken to Guttenberg for interment. - Dubuque Herald.
