Portland Review - Thurs. Dec. 1, 1932

DROWNED AT HOOVER DAM
Mrs. Towner’s Brother Caught in Midstream On a Sinking Raft.

Word has been received here that the search for the body for Carl E. 
Soderstrom, bother of Mrs. Charles Towner, of Portland, drowned at the Hoover 
dam site in Nevada, has been given up, though the body may be recovered later. 
It appears that Soderstrom was one of three men who were working on a raft near 
the middle of the Colorado river, when the raft sank. Two of the men were 
drowned on the spit, but Soderstrom struck out for shore and was within a few 
feet of it when he, too, went down. The river was dragged, but without success 
and last week the report came the search had been abandoned.

Mrs. Towner left Portland Wednesday for Glendale, Nev., a town about 70 miles 
from the dam, where her brother’s five-year-old daughter was being cared for 
while he was working. She expected to remain until some sort of settlement was 
agreed upon and then bring her niece to Portland.
