Read More	Solomon Hilsabeck, a well known farmer living five miles northwest of Albion, was drowned Sunday afternoon at about 4 o'clock in the Iowa river near his home. Hilsabeck was bathing and started to brave the current, made unusually swift because of the heavy rise of Saturday. In attempt to swim the river he was carried downstream and soon became exhausted. Help got to him but the rescuer himself became a victim of cramp and had a hard time to save himself. Hilsabeck went down in fifteen feet of water and at 3 o'clock this afternoon the body had not yet been recovered. A large search party was immediately put to work in an attempt to recover the body. Those who were at the swimming place made very effort until dark to locate it, but were unsuccessful. Mr Hilsabeck was one of the best known farmers of the Albion-Liscomb neighborhood, and was an old resident of the county. He was about fifty years of age and leaves a wife and five children, three daughters and two sons. The children are Mrs Myron Ewalt who lives four and one-half miles northwest of Albion, Mrs Alva Smith who resides east of this city, Miss Addie and Mrs Phin Hilsabeck who are at home and Mr Benjamin Hilsabeck who lives near Okoboji. Monday, July 13, 1903 Evening Times Republican The body of Solomon Hilsabeck, the farmer living five miles northwest of Albion, who was drowned Sunday afternoon, was discovered Tuesday evening by Todd Bridgeman, who, after an hours work recovered it. A boy named Bivens, it seems, had seen what he thought was a man's body, in the forenoon, and told Bridgeman. The body had lodged against a pile of driftwood and had been carried below the wire netting before it was strung across the river Monday at Indiana Bridge. The remains were buried at Bethel Grove cemetery at midnight. Wednesday, July 15, 1903 Evening Times Republican
