The body of Fred A. Baade, 44, of Marshfield, who drowned in big Spirit Lake, Oct. 13, was found Saturday afternoon about 4:00 o’clock, floating on the east side of the lake. Most of the dragging operations were conducted here after the boat which Mr. Baade had rented was found empty, on the lake. 
 

A physician listed the cause of death as asphyxiation by drowning.

At the time of his death he was employed at the Roddis Corporation, at Marshfield.
