Mr. Sterner lost his footing while fishing from a bank at the lake and fell into the water. His wife, Bessie, was with him at the time of the incident. Officials originally thought that a heart attack possibly the cause of death. However, the attending physician has ruled that death was by drowning. Members of the Cozad fire department and rescue unit were notified of the incident shortly before 8:00 o'clock. His body was recovered about an hour later. Firemen responded to a bridge area in West Midway, but were unable to locate the body or found no one with knowledge of the incident. Several members of the department left that particular scene to search elsewhere. However, just moments later, Mr. Sterner's body was first located by Mrs. Vern Lawhead who was fishing in the area. A 2-way radio system in a Co-op Oil Company vehicle was utilized to call rescue workers back to the scene. Boats were brought to the area quickly. Mr. Sterner was born March 28, 1883 at Appanoose County, Iowa. He has lived in the Callaway and Cozad communities most of his lifetime and was a retired farmer. Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Bessie Sterner, Cozad; one son, Orval of Bell, California; two daughters, Mrs. Wylie Richards of El Monte, California, and Mrs. Kenneth Hutchison of Temple City, California; two step daughters, Mrs. Paul Laier, Cozad, and Mrs. John Rake, Kernville, California; five granchildren and twenty great grandchildren. Funeral services will be held at the Evangelical United Brethren Church in Cozad at 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, July 13, 1966. Rev. J. Russell Mead will officiate. Interment will be in the Rosehill Cemetery at Callaway. -------------- James Parvin Sterner came to Nebraska with his wife and children via "over land and covered wagon." They carried all their possessions in the wagons and drove their stock. They made the trip in 1884, taking several weeks. They homesteaded on West Table, Nebraska building a sod house to live in. They had to travel several miles in a wagon to get their water at Plum Creek. The children had a great deal of responsibility on the farm, particularly in the last years of James' life when he was blind. James was born in Ohio and his wife was born in Indiana. In politics he was a Republican and his religious membership was in the United Brethren Church. He brought his family to Custer County, Nebraska in 1884 and died here in 1892 during surgery for appendicitis. ---------------
