Lake Odessa Wave
          FORMER WOODLAND COUPLE AND TWO CHILDREN PERISH
   Four bodies, all wearing life jackets, found washed ashore near Muskegon Sunday
were later identified as Earl Enness Jr., 34, a Kalkaska executive, formerly of Woodland; 
his 33 year old wife, Marlys, and their children, 7 year old Alan and 6 year old Carrie Sue.
   Bits of wreckage from their 30 foot cabin cruiser were also found along the
shoreline.
   It was not immediately determined how the boat broke up, but the Coast Guard said
it was investigating the possibility of a small explosion.
   The Enness family left Grand Haven at 10 a.m. Saturday after spending the night
aboard the boat and headed for Charlevoix  but apparently went only about 25 miles before 
the accident.
   Enness, a prominent industrialist at Kalkaska, was a former owner and at the time
of his death, manager of the American Made Veneer Co.
   He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Enness Sr., who reside on Saddlebag Lake
Road, east of Woodland and a brother of Mrs. Marvin (Ella) Kantner.
   Mrs. Ennss is survived by three sisters, Mrs James Jones and Mrs. Belda Schapf,
both of Seattle, Wash., and Mrs. James Carroll of Denver, Colorado.;  three brothers, Don 
Netherda of Placerville, Calif., and Clarence and Elwyn Netherda, both of Seattle;  her 
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Netherda of Seattle, and her maternal grandfather, Tony 
Hallman of Seattle.
   Joint services were held at 1:30 Thursday at the Pickens Funeral Home in Lake
Odessa, with Rev. Ronald Hoffman officiating.  InIerment was in Lakeside Cemetery.
