Evening Herald June 17, 1929 GRAPPLERS FIND BODY NEAR MILL (This is actually Jess Schonchin, the newspaper made an error.) Jeff Schonchin, member of a prominent old Indian family, was drowned late yesterday in Sprague River near the Lorenz Company sawmill, 40 miles east of this city, when he slipped off logs in the mill pond into the deep water. His body was recovered early this morning by grapplers who dragged the river bottom in the vicinity where the Indian was last seen. There were no witnesses to the tragedy. With a pike pole Schonchin was engaged in guiding logs towards the mill, where they would be picked up and hauled to the interior of the plant. Apparently he slipped and fell. It is assumed he was temporarily stunned in falling as otherwise he could have held onto one of the logs until help came. Workers at the mill found Schonchin's pike pole on th edge of the pond last night. Suspecting that the workman had been drowned an immediate search was instituted. Henry Joyaux, deputy county coroner, left this morning for Sprague River to take the body in charge and bring it to Klamath Falls. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- October 31, 1942 Guy Schonchin, a lifelong resident of the Klamath Reservation, passed away in this city on Friday, Oct. 30, 1942.
