Bio

Joe, an employee of the Central Power Company, was working on the dam at Cedar Rapids. Joe and two other workers had climbed a suspension bridge at around 11:00 p.m. to open the flood gates following a heavy rain when the side of the swinging bridge they were standing on gave way. The other two men were able to cling to the bridge, but Joe was pulled off balance and fell into the river. Witnesses believe Joe struck his head while falling. There were reports of a body seen in the river between Cedar Rapids and Belgrade, but his body has never been recovered. He is believed to have drowned.
