Body Of River Victim Taken From Millpond
	The body of John L. Nock, 37, Grangeville, who was swept into the 
Lochsa River Dec. 23, was found in the millpond at Potlatch Forests, Inc., at 
8:40 a.m. yesterday by a PFI employe.
	Nock had been missing since a slide on the Lewis & Clark Highway 60 
miles east of Kooskia pushed him and his bulldozer into the river. He had been 
attempting to clear snow and mud slides that had stranded motorists the 
previous day.
	John Sturman, 909 Burrell Ave., spotted the body near the middle of the 
log-filled millpond while he was using a company boat. The sheriff's office was 
notified and Sheriff L.A. Huddleston, Coroner W.J. Duclos and Deputy Sheriffs 
W. Abe Frye, Walt Heitmann, and Melvin Goins went to the scene.
	They removed the body from the water. Identification was made by the 
widow, Mrs. Laura F. Nock of Grangeville, and Mr. and Mrs. Owen S. Smith, also 
of Grangeville. Nock was an employe of the logging company owned by Smith at 
the time of his death. He was a heavy equipment operator.
	Born at Cascade
	He was born Sept. 24, 1927, at Cascade, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry 
L. Nock. The elder Nock now lives at Boise. He is a former state senator and 
presently a member of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission.
	Nock attended school at Cascade. He served in the Army from 1943 to 
1947. He returned to Cascade and remained there until 1951 when he moved to 
Grangeville. He married Laura F. McCullough there May 8, 1949. He was a member 
of Mt. Idaho Lodge No. 9 AF & AM, Mt. Queen Lodge No. 11, Order of Eastern 
Star, Elks Lodge at Grangeville and the Methodist Church.
	Survivors in addition to his parents and widow include two sons, John 
H. and Steven G. Nock, at home; a daughter, Mrs. Fawnie Rhett, Lewiston; three 
sisters, Mrs. Winona Blackburn and Mrs. Melvin Herrick of Cascade and Mrs. 
Harmon Kimball of Boise; his maternal grandmother, Mrs. Laurins Herrick of
