Inquest Sought Over Lake Mills Man Death
Annie Osheim petitions Winnebago County court for a coroner inquest into Kenneth Osheim's death from shotgun wounds. She alleges the county coroner neglected to investigate and that a death certificate states suicide. The filing seeks a court order to compel an inquest and to report the death to the State Bureau of Investigation. Citations include attorney O. Tracy of Council Bluffs. Additionally, brief notes of a Friday accident near Thompson involving Mrs. Severson and Chris Schutt, two marriage licenses issued, new car registrations, and residents visiting Clear Lake are listed.
