  Drowned in Kaukauna Canal - Pennings, Walter Mathias Locktender drowns in Kaukauna Canal - Body of Walter Pennings is recovered an hour after he fell in water - Kaukauna - Walter Pennings, 27, locktender here was drowned at 10:30 Tuesday evening when he walked into the Fox River at the approach of the fourth lock. Mr. Pennings was on his way to open the second lock about a quarter mile west of the fourth lock and because of wet grass, he walked along the stones along the Canal bank. Mr. Pennings stopped at the lock tender's house at the fourth lock to turn on the lights which are located at each lock but there are none in between. He continued his walk along the canal bank and is believed to have fallen in the river about 30 feet from the house where the canal widens and the bank turns sharply to the right. Walter Ritten who helped Mr. Pennings at the fourth lock heard a call for help but when he reached the bank it was so extremely dark that he could only see where the body had gone down. Mr. Pennings cap was floating in the water. A number of men worked with pikes poles and grappling hooks and the body was recovered at about 11;15 by Louis Rassmussen, lockmaster and Louis Rogers. Mr. Pennings is survived by his widow and one sone, Eugene, his parents, Mr. & Mrs. Theodore Pennings of Freedom, and four brothers, Harry of San Pedro, Calif., Oliver, Leo and Arthur of Freedom, four sisters, Mrs. Donald McCaulley of Appleton, Mrs. Anton Derys of Kaukauna, Magdelen and Loretta Pennings of Freedom.
