Two Brothers, Unable to Swim, Are Drowned in Storm Off Sandy Beach
Bergholtz Youths Are Victims Of Double Fatality; One Body Is Recovered.
The Niagara river took a ton of at least two lives yesterday when Harold Jagow, 17, and his brother, Benjamin Jagow, 18, both of Jagow road, town of Wheatfield, were drowned while swimming at Sandy Beach, on Grand Island in the upper river. Reports that another swimmer of the group at the beach was missing were not confirmed.
The body of the younger brother was recovered about 9 last night, some 400 feet out in the river from the point where he had been swimming and search is being today continued for the second body.
Accompanied by three cousins, the two youths went to the beach about 3 p. m. yesterday. and shortly after they had entered the water became separated from the others. With a crowd of some 50 or 60 persons at the small beach, they were not seen by their cousins again, the others assuming that the pair was somewhere in the crowd, which was agitated by wind and rain, which descended at intervals. Finally, about 6 p. m.. their attempts to become reunited with the pair disclosing that they were not in the crowd the cousins raised an alarm and the customs border patrol was notified.
One woman in the crowd revealed that she had seen one of the boys go down in the deep water a short distance from the shore but had assumed at the time that he was merely diving. Meanwhile rumor spread that three other swimmers were missing but two of these were later discovered inland under a tree where they had protected themselves from the storm. Whether a third person was actually missing could not be determined.
Neither of the brothers could swim a stroke, members of the family said today. The pair had never been to the beach before, they said.
Accompanying the pair were three cousins, Norman Devantier, 21 years old, and his two sisters, Lydia and Edna Devantier, all of Tuscarora road, Town of Niagara.
Sergeant Oliver C. Vossler and Inspector Edward T. Millidge, of the customs border patrol, found the body of the younger Jagow brother at about 9 o'clock last night through the use of grappling hooks. Medical Examiner Charles E. Long, of Buffalo, issued a certificate of accidental death.
The search was abandoned late last night because of the high wind hut was resumed today although it was feared that the other body may have been carried down the river and possibly over the cataract.
Funeral arrangements for the younger youth have not been completed yet but is expected that the service will be held Wednesday. Surviving the pair, who were born and raised in Bergholtz, are their father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Jagow; six brothers, Walter Jagow, of Denver, Col., and Howard, Franklin, Irwin, Victor and Frederick Jagow, all of the Town of Wheatfield; and four sisters, Mrs. Hugo Gade and Mrs. Melvin Williams, both of Bergholtz, and Elfrieda and Marilyn Jagow, both at home.

Notes:

Lois J. (Voelker) Milleville, 90, of Wheatfield, NY, was carried into the loving arms of Jesus on December 13, 2019 at Niagara Hospice House, surrounded by her loving family.  Born on January 3, 1929 in Niagara Falls, NY, she was the daughter of the late Henry and Frances (Haseley) Voelker. Lois attended St. James Parochial School and LaSalle Jr./Sr. High School.

Mrs. Milleville, also known to family and friends as “Grandma Dolly,” and the “matriarch” of her large, growing family, had a standard; love of God, love of family and working diligently.  She was selfless and leaves behind a legacy of service and love for others.  Lois’ spiritual journey began as a young child, being baptized at St. James Lutheran Church, and she practiced her faith in her daily walk as a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and sister. She stayed faithful to God as an active member of St. James, serving as president of Women of the Church, a leader of Lutheran World Relief Quilter Group (producing over 100 quilts per year) and sang in their choir. She and her husband Wilbert were destined to find love. Born one day apart, growing up only a mile away from each other, attending their entire schooling together, both coming from a deep German/Lutheran heritage and being raised in the same church.  Lois and Wilbert married on June 11, 1949 at St. James Lutheran Church.  Wilbert was her lifelong love, sweetheart and partner until he sadly went to be with the Lord on June 23, 2014, after 65 years of marriage.  Her love of family began to grow as their family became larger, which also transitioned into her taking pride in her work.  Mrs. Milleville was active in the day-to-day operations of Milleville Farms, including farming and office work.  Lois enjoyed traveling with her husband and friends throughout the world and annually enjoyed spending time with Wilbert, family and friends at a resort in Kissimmee, FL, where they had vacationed since 2002.  She took great pride and delight in sewing baby quilts for all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  Mrs. Milleville was an excellent cook and baker.  Her pie making skills were legendary and her “go to” dessert for any and all occasions.

Lois was the beloved mother of Kathleen L. (John G. III) Miskey, John R. (Joyce) Milleville, Lee W. (Maureen) Milleville, Mary Ann (R.Steven) Kowalski, David E. (Jane) Milleville and Timothy C. (Donna) Milleville; the cherished grandmother of 20 grandchildren and 33 great-grandchildren.  She is also survived by sisters-in-law, Elva (late Edgar) Walck, Jean (Richard) St. John and Lois (late Dale) Bush and many nieces, nephews and cousins.  In addition to her parents and spouse, Lois was predeceased by a sister, Phyllis (late Colonel, Raymond) Wienk.

Visitation will be on Monday from 5-8 p.m. and on Tuesday from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. in the Chapel of OTTO REDANZ FUNERAL HOME, 2215 MILITARY ROAD, NIAGARA FALLS, NY.  A funeral service will be held on Wednesday, December 18th at 10:30 a.m. in St. James Lutheran Church, 2437 Niagara Road in Bergholz, with Pastor Daniel Tabor officiating.  Prayers of committal and interment will follow in St. James Lutheran Cemetery.  In lieu of flowers, memorial offerings may be made to St. James Endowment Fund or Niagara Hospice. Arrangements are under the direction of Michael R. Goodlander. 

Lois married MILLEVILLE, Wilbert Carl on 11 Jun 1949 in Bergholtz, Town of Wheatfield, Niagara County, NY.
