Read More	The Van Buren County Register Thursday, January 4, 1962 John Agnew Jr. Found Dead; Body in Ditch John James Agnew Jr., 40, was found dead Sunday morning, Dec. 31 at about 3 a. m. in a roadside pool of water southeast of Keosauqua. Dr. J. O. Ewing of Bonaparte, Van Buren County medical examiner, said death was due to drowning. Apparently he had fallen from his car, which had come to a stop hanging over the end of the culvert. The car was not badly damaged. Sheriff Orville Lee said the cause of the accident is uncertain. Ewing said Agnew had been dead about three hours when Leo Alexander, a passer-by, discovered the body. The man had fallen through ice which covered the pool. The accident occured on a county road a mile southeast of the Midway Cafe which is on highway 2 southeast of Keosauqua. Agnew is believed to have been driving to his home nearby. He had made his home with his mother, Mrs. Llillian Thomas. His father, John J. Agnew, Sr., lives in the same community. Agnew was born April 10, 1921, in Burlington. He was a veteran of World War II and was unmarried. The service was held Tuesday at 2 p. m. at the Burnett-Catcott Funeral Home. Burial was in Thompson Cemetery near Bonaparte. The Burlington Hawk-Eye Tuesday, January 2, 1962 Four Southeast Iowans Die in Holiday Weekend Crashes Four of the five traffic fatalities over the long New Year's holiday weekend occurred in southeast Iowa. None of the five died on New Year's Day, Monday, the first day of the year. The five boosted to 660 the 1961 record Iowa toll - 23 more than in 1960. The body of Agnew, 40, a farmer of near Mt. Sterling, was found early Sunday morning, about 3 a.m. in a pool of water near his wrecked car, alongside a gravel road near his home. Authorities believed Agnew's car was wrecked when it apparently went out of control, and he either was thrown or jumped out as the car went off the road. It appeared Agnew died by drowning. He is survived by his father, John James Agnew, Sr., of near Mr. Sterling; and his mother, Mrs. Lillian Thomas, Mt. Sterling, with whom he made his home. He was a World War II veteran. Services were held Tuesday at 2 p.m. at the Burnett Catcott funeral home with military services. Burial was in Thompson cemetery near Bonaparte.
