He drown when the tow boat the Geo.W.Stone, was cut down by ice at Cairo, IL.. He was the only one who drown. The pilot house was found in the Mississippi River and was to beleive that the body of Albert Milo Coots was the body found in the pilot house. I don't know for sure but i believe this happened around 1898-1900. If anyone has any information on this or how i can find out about this please let me know. I can't seem to find the death record for him. Is that because he drown? Thanks ahead of time. Joyce
