Gunhild Greve (3) was born about

Anton Sutter. He was born in 1910
and died 25 July 1940. She married
second Walter Lappley. He died 20 March 1981.
Gunhild was listed as a lodger in the
household of Joan Jenson in the 1930 census in Madison, Dane Co., WI.
Anton Sutter drowned in Lake
Monona in a boating accident, as reported in the following newspaper article.
Wisconsin State Journal, Friday,
26 July, 1940
Two Boys Prove Heroes
Man Drowns, 3
Saved as Boat Capsizes
Anton Sutter, 30, Pine Bluff cheesemaker and special Dane county sheriff's deputy,
drowned and his wife and two companions were saved when the outboard motor boat
in which the four were riding capsized 400 feet off Hoboken Beach in Lake
Monona at 6 p. m. Thursday.
Sutter's death was the fifth
drowning in Madison's four lakes since June 30.
Mrs. Sutter, Patrick Powers, 35,
Hoboken Beach, and Mrs. Powers were rescued by Jerome Jordan, 15, and Fred Statz, 15, both of Hoboken Beach, in one boat, and by
Leonard Johnson, 302 Forest St., Robert Reque, Hoboken Beach, and Joe Gotzion,
423 Powers Ave., in a second boat.
Johnson, who is chauffeur for Pres.
C. A. Dykstra of the University of Wisconsin, said Jordan and Statz were first to reach the overturned craft. Both
youths plunged into the water and held up Powers and the struggling women until
Johnson and his companions arrived.
Police Inspector Leo J. Kinney, who
witnessed the accident, said the Powers boat left the pier in front of the
Powers cottage only a few minutes before the fatal capsizing. The 32 -
horsepower craft tipped over after making two sharp turns at top speed, Kinney
reported.
Johnson said he and Reque were fishing when they saw the accident. The
pair hastily rowed to shore, attached Johnson's outboard motor, and sped back
out into the lake. Jordan and Statz were trying
to keep the survivors afloat.
"Save the women first!" Powers
shouted.
Statz went to aid the women, who were wearing life preservers, and
Jordan struggled to save the 210-pound Powers,
who had lost his grip on the slippery hull.
Just as the Johnson boat reached the
scene, Powers shouted: "I can't make it any longer."
Johnson and the others managed to
pull the three survivors into their boat. Once on shore, Powers,
delirious, had to be strapped into a county ambulance before being taken to
Wisconsin General hospital, where officials today reported he is
"fine."
Mrs. Sutter and Mrs. Powers told
Sheriff Edward A. Fischer Sutter was sitting on the deck of the motor boat when it capsized. Indications, Fischer
said, pointed to Sutter's having been struck on the
head when the craft overturned, for he apparently had sunk immediately and
without struggle.
Powers, Fischer said, dived several
times for Sutter immediately after he sank, but soon was forced by exhaustion
to cling to the boat's bottom.
Three hours after the drowning,
County Sgt. O. F. Larson and Roland Runge found
Sutter's body in 12 feet of water. Others participating
in the dragging were Ray Case, town of Monona officer, Fischer, and
Undersheriff Elmer Ottum.
Mr. Sutter's survivors are the
widow, Dunhille; two
sons, Robert and Donald, at home; his mother, Mrs. Martha Sutter, East
Bristol, and three sisters, Mrs. Emil Hauser and Mrs. Adelbert
Mautz, both of East Bristol, and Mrs. Edwin Gmeinder, Marshall.
Funeral services will be held at 8:30 a. m. Monday in the
Coyle funeral home, Cross Plains, and at 9 in St. Mary's church, Pine Bluff,
with the Rev. Alex Zuern officiating. Burial will be
in St. Joseph's cemetery, Pine Bluff. (R‑1, R‑2)
