Shortly before 4 p. m. Siebert with his two daughters, Judie, 11, and Joan, 10, went with Clayton Hoffman, of Zurich, to the lake.

They went in bathing at St. Joseph. When one of the children saw the inflated tire was using for a float carried out from her depth by waves that were rolling she asked her father to recover it.

Siebert swam out and was about to grab the tire which had floated about 150 feet from shore and around the end of the pier, when he shouted for help.

Hoffman swam out to go to his assistance but he sank 'before Hoffman arrived at the spot.

L. all-star team in the season of 1935-36. He repeated in the 1936-37 and 1937-38 seasons. During the summer of 1936 he was traded to Les Canadiens.
