  See Image Front Page; BOY DROWNED - Little son of John Feller loses his life in Canal. - Mr.and Mrs. John Feller's little son Johnny, aged nearly 8 years, met his death Wednesday forenoon by drowning in the canal basin at the third lock. When the excursion boat Evalyn went down Wednesday forenoon, it passed this lock about 10:00 which is undoubtedly when the accident occurred. Several small boys were there at the time and as near as can be ascertained the little Feller boy was not seen after that time. His body was found close by the gate of the government third lock, at the lower and, about 2:00 Thursday afternoon. The police were notified of the absence of the little fellow from his home about 10:00 Wednesday evening and from that time on made every effort to locate him. It first was thought he was on the boat, and some time Thursday morning a message was received from DePere the small boy was on the Evalyn which boat was then on its way to Kaukauna. Just after noon it arrived and the painful news was spread of his probable death by drowning as he was not on the boat. The canal basin and lock was emptied and the body found as stated. The funeral was held this Friday morning at 8:00 from Holy Cross church. Mr. and Mrs. Feller have the sympathy of the entire city in their sudden affliction. 1902 Kaukauna Sun dated 7/18/1902; Found in canal - Little John Feller drowned in the second level - Body found yesterday - Boy was missing since Wednesday supposed that he attempted to board the Evelyn - John Feller, the seven year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Feller was found dead in the second level of the government canal yesterday afternoon at 3:00. The little fellow had been missing since the forenoon of the day previous at 10:30. In company with Arr and Ray Schmalz, Frank Ponachek and Ben Hamilton he was last seen at the third lock and was heard by the boys to ask the captain of the Evalyn, which was being locked through at the time, if he could ride the boat to the fifth lock. The captain refused the lad's request. Little John Zobluski and told Marshall Conlon that he saw the boy jump onto a boat, but his statements are conflicting and the truth of how he fell into the water may come out at the inquest be held by Justice Koch's office next Monday forenoon. On the strength of the above statement it was decided to empty the second level, Marshal Conlon receiving permission from Engineer Mann of Oshkosh. When 4 ft. of water was removed from the canal the body was found close to the head gates of the dry dock, a few feet from where he was last seen. A mark on the boys lip and the cut over the right eye would indicate that he struck against something in falling, or else was injured by the wheel of the boat. The funeral was held from Holy Cross Church this morning at 8:00.
