Body Found at Joe's Pond This Morning

We have just heard the news over WCAX that a body was found here in Joe's Pond this morning. Neighbors have been calling and what we have learned is unofficial, but I'm confident this is what happened - or at least some of what happened. The Caledonian Record also has a little information.

Lee Cobb (Narrows Drive) found the body early this morning. The body was that of John Allen whose family has owned a cottage at the intersection of Old Homestead and Brown Road for many years. He was the son of Jack and Mary Allen, of St. Johnsbury. We have been told that John was causing a disturbance, possibly with a hand gun last night on Old Homestead. Apparently police were called and whether he went into the water to end it or fell in, nobody seems to know. We will supply more details as we learn them.
