Ex-St. Ansgar Man’s Body is Found in Canada
St. Ansgar, Iowa - The body of a former Iowan who drowned in Canada last fall will be returned to Austin, Minnesota, for burial.
The victim was Alton Knutson, formerly of St. Ansgar.
His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Knutson, St. Ansgar, have been notified the body was found Sunday by a search party near the site of the Ontario fishing accident last fall which caused the drownings of Knutson; Virgil Adrian, formerly of Osage and Carpenter, but whose home was in Baudette, Minnesota; and their guide. The two other bodies were found earlier.
The search party found Knutson’s body in Packwash Lake near Earl Falls, Ontario.
