Ex-Osage Man
Drowns in Lake
Near Faribault

OSAGE, IOWA — Services will be Thursday at Osage for a former resident who drowned on August 16 at a lake near Faribault, Minnesota.

Minnesota authorities told the Mitchell County Sheriff's office that Richard Ogden, 23, of Rochester, Minnesota, was on a pontoon boat on Lake Mazaska when a cooler fell overboard. Ogden dived in to retrieve the cooler, they said, and did not reappear.

He had given his name as Richard Arby when he rented the pontoon craft, the Minnesota officials said, but was later identified as Ogden.

Ogden's wife, Linda, told authorities her husband had left home earlier in the week, telling her he was going to seek employment.

An ex-Marine Ogden had been wounded in Vietnam and won the Purple Heart and other citations.

Services will be at 2 p.m. Thursday at the Champion Funeral Home in Osage. Burial in Osage Cemetery.

Survivors are his wife; a son, Richard Jr., 2½, and a daughter, Casie, 1½, both at home; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Ogden of Osage; a sister, Mrs. Debbie Brandt of Osage; of Osage; a brother, Daniel of Osage; and his maternal grandmother, Mrs. Earl Snyder of Osage.
