Arthur Korinek was 72 when he died on April 6, 2014. Born in Ellsworth, he farmed from a young age, moved to Oswego in 1973, and ran Korinek Brothers Sawmill with his brother until retirement. He was remembered for fixing machinery, teaching family skills, and enjoying fishing, gardening, and time with his grandchildren.

Reports classify his death as a homicide by gun violence, but contemporary news and later accounts provide no further details about the circumstances, suspects, or arrests. The investigation’s publicly known trail appears to stop there, and the case is listed among unsolved murders in Oswego.
