Belding Banner-News, 30 Jan 1936

War Veteran Drowned At Nearby Lake

Was Ardent Sportsman and Member of Local Legion Post; Burial Today

The body of Guy Lozo, 38, local World war veteran, was recovered Monday morning
about 9 o’clock from Tower lake near Grattan by members of the Kent county
sheriff’s department.  Lozo had apparently fallen asleep while fishing or had
become asphyxiated and fallen into the hole in his fish shanty.  Clarence
Martin, local barber, had driven Lozo to Tower lake about 11 o’clock Sunday
morning.  Martin had left him there and proceeded to his own shanty on a
neighboring Lake.

Karen Mason, who was also fishing in a house near Lozo’s, was the first to
discover the tragedy when he walked past Lozo’s house on his way to his minnow
box on the edge of the lake.  In passing, he hollered to Lozo, but received no
answer.  On his way back Mason thought this was rather odd because it was Lozo’s
habit to yell back.  Mason forced open the door and noticed that the chair was
over the hole, his spear in the corner and Lozo’s hat was floating on the water.
 And oil stove was burning in the hut and officer stated that the temperature
was suffocating hot inside.

Kent county officers were immediately called and although they partially located
the body they could not retrieve it until Monday morning.  Officers believed
that he was dead before he hit the water and no inquest was held.

Lozo is survived by the widow and two children, Guy, Jr., 13, and Helen 10.  His
mother, Mrs. Ada Lozo, of Belding and Mrs. Erell Gallager of Traverse City also
survive.  Funeral services will be held at the Fitzjohn funeral home today at
2:30 and Rev. J.A. Hudnutt will officiate.  Burial will be held in the
mausoleum.  In the spring the body will be laid to rest in River Ridge cemetery.
