I just found out that one of my grandpa's brothers and his wife drowned in 1990. He'd asked my grandpa to buy a sawmill from him so he could pay for a flat bottomed boat. My grandpa bought it and they got the boat. On a Monday, the brother didn't show up to work, which was odd because he was very reliable. Some family went to their house and saw the dogs hadn't been fed. It turned out they had gone boating when the water level was high. They didn't know how to swim, and had their life preservers on the floor off the boat. The bodies were found days apart. They had hoped after finding her body that he was on an island. The family waded in the water with long sticks and found his body underwater stuck in a submerged tree's branches.
