BEAVERTON WOMAN DROWNS AT OSCODA

   Mrs. Timothy (Kim) Poole, 27, of 3936 Jones Rd., Beaverton, drowned last 
Wednesday in a fishing boat accident in Lake Huron at Oscoda. Her husband was 
rescued. Police said their small boat capsized while they were fishing for 
lake trout in "very choppy water" near the mouth of the AuSable River. 
According to Oscoda-AuSable Township police, an unidentified boater saw the 
Poole boat capsize shortly afternoon and notified Patricia Brewer, owner of 
the Main Pier Marina.
   She notified Floyd Payne, commodore of the Oscoda Yacht Club and a member 
of the Oscoda Coast Guard Auxiliary. He and three other club members rushed to 
the scene. Payne said the "water was terribly rough," with waves up to eight 
feet. 
   The Oscoda man said he saw something in the water that looked like a coat, 
but turned out to be Mrs. Poole's body. Police estimated Mrs. Poole had been 
in the chilly water between 30 and 40 minutes. She was pronounced dead on 
arrival at Tawas Hospital, Tawas City. Her husband was rescued by another 
unidentified boater.
   Payne said he spotted a brown jacket, a cap, paddle, and two life preserves 
which had not been used at the accident scene. Mrs. Poole's obituary appears 
on Page 2. Gladwin County Record dated 04-23/1980 Column - 6 Page - 1
