Summary
| Description | Original caption from source: "Michigan Republican William Wedemeyer was a one-term representative, elected in 1910. After losing his re-election campaign in 1912, he went on an official journey to Panama to inspect the Canal Zone, and while there he either jumped or fell from a boat in the harbor in Colon; his remains were never found. His Congressional biography calls his death accidental, but a contemporary obituary in The New York Times reports that Wedemeyer was extremely upset about losing his race—so upset that he was under 24-hour watch. The paper claims he was able to elude his minders, however, and leapt over the ship's rail to his death." |
