Close Escapes While Fishing Near Lake Grubb
Four men including Charles Pfautz Edwin Bear Martin Shenk and Frank Eby escaped serious injury when a large decayed tree toppled toward them at Lake Grubb during a fishing trip. Pfautz was struck by a branch bruising his face. Bear and Eby outran the danger, while Shenk was far enough away to stay safe. A separate incident saw a Dodge truck strike a boy but miss him, leaving him with a sprained ligament and minor injuries. Other local anglers reported sizable catches at Brubaker’s dam Kerbach lake and the Susquehanna River throughout the week and a planned fishing trip to a lake near Dover Delaware for several boys and adults.
