Hunt Resumed For Missing Fishermen
Groups of men led by State Police and members of the Lewis County sheriff's department, resumed search in Stillwater Reservoir today for the bodies of five men believed drowned there Sunday daring a heavy wind and rain storm.
The recovery yesterday of a hat identified as belonging to one of the men and the finding of two oars said to have been on the 15- foot metal boat with outboard motor which the men had used, led Sgt. C. A. Shaver, State Police, to say that all available evidence indicates the men were drowned.
The five were Frank and George Oaster, brothers, Gerald Reape, brother-in-law of the Oaster brothers, Brian Williams, and Clifford Gramps.
Searchers today concentrated their work along the North Shore in a three-mile area. All available boats were being pressed into service. Grappling hooks and drag nets are being used. The searching party had to quit for four hours Tuesday because of a high wind which swept the lake into huge waves.
Brian Williams, 25, one of the five men believed drowned is son of Mr. and Mrs. Harley Williams, Remsen.
A partner with his father in the firm of Williams Oil Co., he has been in charge of the Lowville office of the company since February, 1946.
A graduate of Remsen high school and University of Pennsylvania, he was discharged from the army after suffering knee injuries while on maneuvers. He was hospitalized several months. He has a brother, Dale Williams, a student at Hamilton College.
Frank Oaster 37. was born at Turin, March 30, 1910, son of Mrs. Bertha Norton Oaster Ingersoll, and the late Edward Oaster. He attended Turin schools and Lowville Academy after which he accepted employment with Turin highway department.
Oaster served in world war II and went overseas to England in 1945. He was stationed in Germany until October 1945, when he returned to the states and received his discharge.
George Philip Oaster, 39, also a son of Mrs. Ingersoll and the late Edward Oaster, was born at Turin Nov. 19, 1907. After graduating from Lowville Academy and teaching three years, he entered the employ of Dr. G. O. Volovic, Lowville, and later was employed by Robert Patterson, Dayton O.
Thirteen years ago he married the former Zita Reape at Lowville. Gerald Reape, 32, Ilion, who was in the fishing party with the Oaster brothers is Mrs. Oaster's brother.
Oaster also was a veteran of world war entering the army in 1943, and serving with the ski troops at Camp Hale, Colo. He later was assigned to a medical detachment and served at Simmons General Hospital, Denver. He went overseas from Fort Lewis, Wash., where he was stationed at a Manila hospital. He was discharged in December, 1945, and bought property at No. 4 in Lewis county, where he has operated the Fenton house as a summer resort.
Living at Turin are the mother of the brothers, and their sister, Mrs. Cyril L. Seymour.
