Tuma Drowns in Harpt Lake
Larrabee - Harpt Lake, a 27 acre body of water located northwest of this community, claimed its second life in two weeks Sunday.
Latest victim was identified by county authorities as Wayne Tuma, 25, formerly of rural Two Rivers, but more recently a resident of Rockford, Ill.
Dr. Theodore Teitgen, county coroner, said Tuma and his recent bride, Patricia, 19, were in the water together when he apparently stumbled over backwards and sank below the surface. She went for help but the body was in t he water for about 10 minutes before it was received, Doctor Teitgen said.
Dead on Arrival
The corner (sic) reported that Tuma drowned in water that reached just above his waist. The accident occurred at about 5:50 p.m.
Tuma was dead on arrival at Two Rivers Municipal Hospital. Pat Finnel of the Larrabee area tried unsuccessfully to revive the victim with mouth to mouth resuscitation from the lake all the way to the hospital.
Tuma's mother and wife were taken to the hospital in a state of shock. The mother was released later Sunday but his wife was hospitalized overnight.
Tuma and his wife had come to this area to visit his parents and relatives over the weekend.
Cautions Swimmers
Doctor Teitgen cautioned swimmers to avoid going into the cold lake water after drinking beer. It was reported that Tuma had been drinking prior to the accident.
Beer is available at the lake at a concession stand owned by the Larrabee Sportsmen's Club and operated by Ted Schoenke of Manitowoc.
The coroner asked the sheriff's department to investigate the possibility that underage youths were drinking beer in the swimming area located on the east side of the lake.
Lyle L. Kluck, 19, Two Rivers, drowned in the same lake June 9. He reportedly went under after suffering a cramp while swimming with a female companion near a raft in the swimming area.
