The Daily Post, Jefferson City, Mo., Thursday, July 13, 1916 Carl Butzer, employed as fireman on the steamboat Lieutenant Lewis, and a brother of Phillips Butzer, employed as electrician with the light company here, fell from the boat and was drowned near Chamois yesterday. Butzer was well known in this city, where he visited his brother quite often. His home is in Mary’s Home. The boat was coming up the river near Chamois when Butzer was missed by his fellow employees. One of the men ran to the back of the boat and saw Butzer in the water about 300 yards behind the boat. He went down before they could reach him. The men made every effort to recover the body but after several house’ work gave up the search. He had been suffering from dizziness for the last few weeks and it was thought that he was seized with one of the spells and fell into the water. He was 24 years of age and had been employed as a steamboat man for the past four years. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Butzer, were notified and came here today. His brother, Phillip resides in Washington Park here. He was a nephew of Mrs. Mary A. Ruthven. The steamer Lieutenant Lewis stopped here at noon today for a short time and the men told of the accident.
