Fund Established To Help Hero's Family
A fund to help the family of Okfuskee County hero L. T. Piggie II has been established at Citizen's State Bank of Okemah, 323 West Broadway, Okemah, OK 74859.
Piggie, pictured here in an older photo with two of his three children, drowned in a pond after rescuing his 4-year-old daughter who was in the back of his pickup truck that rolled into the pond. Piggie rescued the girl and passed her to his 14-year-old son, who swam 75 yards to help save his sister, before he disappeared under the water.
Piggie, 51, apparently became snagged by the sinking pickup truck.
