Frank Pelnar, a former resident of Carlton was accidently drowned in Westcott Lake near Spruce on Saturday last. Just how the accident happened is not known, but it is thought that he accidently fell out from a boat in which he was fishing alone, as the craft was found right side up and free from water.
But ten minutes had elapsed between the time he was last seen and the noticing of the empty boat. His son John almost lost his life in trying to recover the body by diving.
Frank Pelnar was born in the Town of Carlton in Kewaunee county in 1865 where he grew to manhood. In the fall of 1890 he was married to Sophie Hlawacek, also of the Town of Carlton, and to this union were born seven children. In 1893 the Pelnar's moved to Spruce where they have since resided.
