Van Loo Yourth Dies in Quarry
Loomer Recovers Body: Efforts to Resusciate Yourth after Hour in Water Are Futile
An hour after he had disapperated under the water, the body of Raymond Van Loo, 21-years-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Van Loo of Ladoga, was recovered from the stone quarry east of Fond du Lac street about 3:30 Tuesday afternoon. Efforts to revive the yourth failed.
Funeral services for Raymond Van Loo will be held Friday afternoon at 1:30 from the home and at 2 o'clock from the First Reformed church in this city, with the Rev. J. H. Kregel of Alto officiating, Pallbearers will be six cousins of the yourth.
Young Van Loo's body was recovered by Thane Loomer assisitant high school coach and summer recreation director, who did not arrive on the secene until sometime after the yourth went under.
The only witnesses to the drowning, Robert Coyle and Virgil Rhode of Waupun and Kenneth Zieman of Randolph went for help but were too excited and too upset to give much aid to searchers and their stories of what happened differed. Van Loo, however was the only one in the water at the time. According to one boy the others were not bathing but were catching frogs nearby, while another reported that they had been swimming earlier and were ready to leave, having called Van Loo to come in. Just before Van Loo disappeared into the water, one yourth reported, he had been standing one a pile of submerged rocks in the quarry. One thought he had been diving. The water in which he was found was about 12 feet deep.
Rhode reports that Coyle and Zieman were already in swimming when he and Van Loo arrived. They all went into the water, and Rhode, Coyle and Zieman, had crossed the pool and were sitting on a ledge on the other side when Van Loo attempted to follow them. Van Loo reached a submerged pile of rocks. Rhode said, and stood on that, but when he attempted to go on from there, he went down. the body was found by Mr. Loomer between the rocks mentioned and the ledge on which Rhode reported they were sitting.
The three boys ran to neighbors for aid and a number of people gathered. After some unsuccessful attempts to get a boat, one was obtained from Ed Van Loo, in which Clarence Van Loo and John Howard made a search using a fishpoles in an attempt to locate the body. Clarence Beinborn; prison guard, was also searching, using a rake attached to the end of a fishpole. Harry Cross was also helphing to orgainxe the search.
Dr. L. S. Eagleburger and Chief W. L. Tetzlaff were sent for, and its was Dr. Eagleburger who went to the Rock River Country Club for Mr. Loomer, who was playing golf. Mr. Loomer dived into the water and with the others continued to search the area in which the boys said Van Loo had disappeared. After about a half hour of searching, Mr. loomer located the body in another part of the pool. The yourth had then been under water alittle more than an hour.
Mr. Loomer, with James Towne and Gerald Green of the water and light department, attempted artifical respiration but were unable to do anything for the yourth.
Van Loo was the 34th person Mr. Loomer has taken from the water and the second one to die. Mr. Loomer has acted as a life guard several summers.
Searchers were hampered in their work by the fact that none of them was well enough acquainted with the ledges and rocks of the quarry pool to enable them to dive freely, and they were also hampered by the debris which had been thrown into the pond.
Corner James Murray and Traffic Patrolman John Hardgrove of Fond du Lac county arrived with grappling hooks and equipment about the time the body was recovered, so their services were not needed. Mr. Murray indicated there would be no inquest.
Tuesday's drowning was one of several which occurred in this stone quarry.
Raymond Van loo was born Sept. 17, 1915 in the town of Waupun, and is a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Van Loo who now live near Ladoga. He is survived by his parents and by four brothers and two sisters, Joseph of Waupun, Henry, William, Arthur, and Johanna Van Loo, at home, and Mrs. Ed Miller of Waupun. Raymond was staying at the Miller home at the time of the accident.
