Old mystery cleared Eddyville disappearance case told
In Eddyville a pre Civil War tale explains the drowning of Jonathan Maxon in the Des Moines river in 1860. A youth named Slemmons witnessed Maxon cross the ford, vanish amid swift waters, and the only recovered item was his ax. Rumors blamed quicksand as the cause but the body was never found until a later river search, aided by Dr Buck who retrieved the corpse after a late midnight ride with Charles Lutz. The widow later pursued a pension and produced the proof of death from Eddyville.
