Brownsville Boy Drowned In Calapooia
BROWNSVILLE-A fishing expedition to the Calapooia River ended in tragedy Saturday afternoon when Jimmie Arlen Steinborn , 12, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Steinborn, 519 Butler Street drowned while swimming.
The youngster, accompanied by his brother, Edwin, 11, and a neighbor, Barry Atkins, 13, went to the river shortly after noon to fish.
As the afternoon wore on, the weather got hot so Jimmie went swimming in a hole in the river from which gravel had been dredged.
About 5:20 p.m. Edwin saw him go down and then come back up but thought that his brother was only playing. He went down again, Edwin said, but didn't come back up. After a short time Edwin knew that something was the matter so he ran for help.
Members of the Brownsville Volunteer Fire Department, the auxiliary police and the boy's father recovered the body about a half hour later by diving for it.
The youngster was born March 19, 1942 in Oakridge and had lived in Brownsville for past five years. He would have been in the seventh grade at the Brownsville grade school this fall.
Funeral services will be conducted at 10 a.m. Tuesday in the Brownsville Baptist Church with burial in the West Lawn Cemetery at Eugene. The Huston Funeral Home in Lebanon is in charge of arrangements.
In addition to his parents and brother, the youth is survived by a sister, Carol Ann, also of Brownsville; grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. W.M Pugh, Crawfordsville and Mrs. Ida Steinborn, Yakima, Wash.
Drowning also took the lives of Craig Nagmyth (can't read name in newspaper copy), 13, Portland, who died Sunday while swimming in the Clackamas River and Daniel Dale Roberts, 18, Salem, when he slipped from a log to which he was holding in Willow Lake, north of Salem.
