Read More	Louis Hoffmeyer, a young man aged 31, lost his life by drowning last Sunday afternoon. The accident occurred at his father's Hickory Hill farm, just southwest of Holton in an artificial lake recently constructed there by Elmer Hoffmeyer and filled by water from Banner Creek. Sunday afternoon Louis Hoffmeyer, Otto Zibell, Aaron Seip, W. D. Nauheim and a younger Hoffman were bathing in the pond. The water in some places is eight to ten feet deep, and the pond extends over a considerable area, being a hundred feet across. Louis Hoffmeyer was unable to swim and was floating about in a rudely constructed raft. When he reached the center of the pond the raft capsized and Louis fell into the water. His companions on shore attempted a rescue but the one who swam out to him made little headway in offering assistance and gave up the attempt. The accident occurred about three o’clock. The coroner, C. J. Hardin, and M. F. Gabel were called to the pond and assisted by the victim's father, began a search for the body. More than two hours were consumed in diving and dragging the lake without being able to locate the body. An opening was then made in the dam for the purpose of draining the lake. As the water was rushing out Mr. Gabel with an improvised grapping hook succeeded in bringing the body to the surface .... Louis Hoffmeyer was unmarried and for the past two years has been farming on the reservation ... The Holton Recorder, August 22, 1912. ... the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Emil Hoffmeyer .... Besides the parents and a host of friends three brothers and three sisters are left to mourn his loss. The Holton Signal, August 22, 1912.
