Anniston Star 
Authorities were still drawing the Tallapoosa today for the body of Norred 
Osborne, 59, who fell from a boat near the Wadley Bridge here late Tuesday after 
noon. According to reports from the Randolph County Sheriff s officer, Osborne 
and a companion, Frazier Richardson, 71, of Wadley, were crossing the river at a 
point about 400 yards above the bridge, going from the town of Wadley to the 
site where they lived. The river level is about four feet above nor mal at the 
present time, and a limb may have pushed Osborne off the boat as the two men 
were trying to land the boat, the Sheriff's office said. Osborne fell from the 
boat and disappeared. Richardson fell into the water and drifted downstream 
about 200 yards where he was able to catch a limb and pull himself to the bank.

Note: The body was recovered later.
