Thomas Alan Leininger, son of Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Leininger, drowned while trying to help rescue the family boat that had drifted away from shore. Emmet County Sheriff Bob Knox, who was called to the scene, said that the family boat had apparently drifted away from shore. Three of the older Leininger children swam after it and got into the boat. Knox said that Thomas, who also swam out to the boat, got in “some sort of trouble” while in the water, and when the other children tried to help him get into the boat, his life jacket slipped off and he went under the water. Thomas’s body was recovered after three hours of dragging operations supervised by the Emmet County sheriff’s office. Knox expressed his appreciation to units from Estherville, Ceylon, Minn., the State Conservation Commission, Spirit Lake, Spencer, and all others who assisted in recovering the body. The Rev. S.S. Sill will officiate at funeral services. Visitation will be held at the Reese-Henry Funeral Home after 3 p.m. Tuesday until noon on Wednesday. Burial will be in the Dolliver cemetery.
