Wilmette | Greenleaf 4300 Sheldrake 5687 Evanston Bather Drowns in Gravel Pit on Ridge Road Joseph Pestka, 1717 Hoveland court, Evanston, 'was drowned about 2:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon while swim- ming in the water filled gravel pit at Ridge road, Wilmette. Mr. Pest- ka was forty years old and the father of five children. With two sons, Albert, 16, and Joseph, Jz. 6, and two friends, Mich- ael and Frank Kurtz, Pestka left home about 1:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Upon arriving at the pond Michael Kurtz, an able swimmer, challenged Pestka to race across. When Kurtz reached the opposite side he looked back to find that Pestka was not in sight. None of the persons at the pit had seen the man drown. The body was not recovered until shortly before noon on Monday when a coast guard boat in charge of Capt. Otto F. Fricke dragged over the spot where the victim was last seen. Searchers dragged the pond all of Sunday afternoon until forced to halt by rain and darkness. The task was resumed at daybreak on Monday. Sergt. George Pestka, of the Ev- anston police force, a brother of the drowned man, was assisting on the coast guard crew which located the body in the muddy bottom of the pool. Hundreds of persons lined the banks while the search was going on, and among them were Pestka's widow, Mrs. Jane Pestka, and their five chil- dren, Albert and Joseph, Marie, 14, Jane, 10, and Helen, 8. Hugh Foresman of Kenilworth en- tertained some of his friends at a stagg party yesterday. The men played golf at the Barrington Golf club and later had dinner and played bridge.
