Jeffrey Jay Fredericks (1966 - 1984)

#1:

OSAGE, IOWA - Jeffery Fredericks, 17, son of Gerald and Donna Fredericks of rural Osage, drowned about 3:30 p.m. Saturday at the site of the Mitchell dam on the Cedar River, five miles northwest of Osage.

Fredericks, who was swimming with two companions, John Pint Jr., of Mitchell, and Anthony Huebsch of Osage, reportedly dove into the river below the dam and never surfaced. His body was recovered about 7 p.m. Saturday through the efforts of the Winnebago County Rescue Squad of Forest City; Cerro Gordo Divers Rescue Unit of Mason City; Mitchell County Sheriffs officers; the Osage Volunteer Fire Department; and the Iowa State Highway Patrol.

According to Mitchell County Sheriff Richard E. Jahnel the strong current below the dam kept Fredericks from surfacing.

He was a 1984 graduate of the Osage Community Schools.

Champion Funeral Home in Osage is in charge of arrangements.
