I hope this is not anyone of our guys. Tragic, seems like the boat may have been overloaded and the water is still cold.

4 Dead in Boating Accident on Niangua River.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | 1 Comment | Posted: Saturday, January 29, 2011 12:19 pm

DALLAS, Mo. Four Fair Grove residents are dead after a state conservation officer found their small boat capsized on the Niangua River in southwestern Missouri.

The Missouri State Water Patrol identified the victims as David Dixon, 68; Doyle Cowin, 62; Hubert Highfill, 43, and Jesse Highfill, 11.

The conservation officer was responding to a call for assistance about 10:30 p.m. Friday when he found Dixon clinging to the side of the capsized vessel.

Dixon was airlifted to a Springfield hospital where he was later pronounced dead. The other three victims were pronounced dead at the scene by the Dallas County coroner.

Investigators say the four were on the river for a fishing trip and had planned to return home that evening.

Fair Grove is about 10 miles northeast of Springfield, Mo.

"Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously."

He's not from Fair Grove. He's from Lead Mine I believe, or Tunas? My son is, but I don't know if he knows the men involved.

Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.

Yeah a young boy and three men in a 12 foot boat. News just said they had a generator on board too. Nobody was wearing a life jacket.
