The Moulton Advertiser
The second death in Lawrence County this year resulting from a fishing mishap 
occurred Friday when a Georgian died following a boat accident just below 
Wheeler Dam. The man, Whitson Leon Ogletree, 64, LaGrange, was on a fishing trip 
with two friends when their boat overturned below the dam about 2 p.m. The 
Georgian was pulled to shore by another fisherman, but he suffered a heart 
attack before an ambulance arrived and died a few minutes later at the scene. An 
ambulance from Tuscumbia picked the body up on the south bank of the river and 
transferred it to the Tri-Cities, where it was later returned to Georgia. The 
victim was a veteran of both World Wars, and a retired textile worker. A Cullman 
man, Clarence H. Keller, drowned in Mallard Creek May 19 after toppling off a 
homemade fishing platform.
