My grandfather, Michael Koabel/Koebel, was born in Humberston, Ontario 25 May 1850, son of Michael Koebel and Francisca Schmidt. He died on 14 Jun 1918. According to my father, he was painting a ship in the Welland Canal, fell off, and was drowned. Has anyone else ever heard this story?

Hi, I believe the father Michael was my great-grandfather, therefore, the son Micheal would be my grandmother's (Josephine) brother. I grew up in Buffalo and heard this story, but did not remember who it was that actually died in the drowning. Thought for the longest time it was my Grandfather.
