EDWIN KRIESER (d. 1928) CAR IN RIVER, MARIBEL MAN KILLED EDW KRIESER MEETS DEATH IN ACCIDENT Loses Control of machine on Hill Curve and it Plunges Down Bank Edward Kreiser, 32, Maribel man and proprietor of a confectionary parlor there, met death early last evening when he lost control of his automobile he was driving while descending a hill, failed to negotiate a turn in the road at the foot of the hill and was carried over the twelve foot embankment as the car plunged into the Neshota River. Krieser was killed instantly, his skull being fractured. The car, a touring machine, was badly wrecked and Krieser’s body was found under the machine which had turned completely over in its plunge into the water. The body was recovered shortly after the accident which happened about 6 o’clock last night while Mr. Krieser was enroute to Kellnersville where he had visited, to Lark. The accident happened on a side road about a half mile from Larrabee which Mr. Krieser had evidently selected as a short cut to hasten his trip. Just how the accident happened or its cause is not known, but from the attending circumstances it is believed that Krieser misjudged the distance to the curve in the road which is at the foot of the hill and was unable to make the turn, his machine going over a pile of rock and dove over the bank into the river. Mr. Krieser was a native of Manitowoc county, having been born in the section where the tragedy occurred, a son of Albert Krieser, former member of the county board and well known Maribel resident. The dead youth had been associated with his father in conduct of business at Maribel and two years ago assumed management of the place, Krieser Sr., retiring. Besides his parents, Mr. Krieser is survived by his parens, a brother, Fred and a sister, Mrs. Herman Jaeger at Maribel and a sister, Mrs. Ella Reide of Fond du lac. Coroner Kemper and Sheriff Beduhn who were notified of the accident early last evening visited the scene but it is not expected that an inquiry will be called. The funeral of Mr. Krieser will be held Saturday afternoon at Maribel. Manitowoc Herald News – June 23, 1927 – page 2 *Note: Transcirption death year and newspaper death year do not match.

Gust Krieser, 63, and William Krieser, 43, cousins, were killed Sunday afternoon on Highway 141 in Cooperstown as they stepped out of the way of an oncoming truck into the path of an automobile driven by Hartwig Bittner, 45, route 3, DePere. William Krieser was killed instantly. He sustained a fractured skull and a fractured left leg. Gust Kreiser, who was carried nearly 90 feet on the bumper of the Bittner car, had a skull fracture and a compound fracture of the left leg. He died in an ambulance while being taken to a Green Bay hospital. Both men reside on farms west of the village of Rosecrans. Gust Krieser, a widower, was a town supervisor. His cousin, who was single, was employed as a member of a stone crushing crew. District Attorney John Cashman announced this afternoon there will be an inquest. A jury of six men was impaneled and was to view the bodies later in the day at the Knutson undertaking parlors, Denmark. “From what I have learned of the accident, I believe there should be an inquest and I believe one has been ordered,” the district attorney said after he conferred with Dr. Gerald Rau, coroner, and Sheriff Max Hiller, Jr. Carl Reetz, Denmark, driver of a Denmark brewery truck, told Dr. Gerald Rau, coroner, and Sheriff Max Hiller Jr., who were called to the scene of the accident, that the two Kriesers were standing on the pavement in front of the Cookle tavern, just north of the junction of highway 141 and highway 147. The truck driver said he blew his horn to warn the men from the road. Step Into Path of Car Reetz said the two men stepped quickly to the east side of the highway into the path of the Bittner car, bound north on highway 141. Bittner said he was unable to avoid striking both men. Gust Krieser was hit squarely by the front bumper of the car and thrown to the pavement. William Krieser, according to marks on the Bittner car, ran into the side of the machine. His head struck the glass ventilator shield in the left front door and he was caught on the fender and bumper. Measurements taken after the accident indicated he was carried between 80 and 90 feet before dropping off and crawling 27 feet to the side of the road. Dr. Joseph May, Maribel, who was called, pronounced William Krieser dead and ordered Gust Krieser moved to a hospital. The latter died on the way. The bodies were taken to the Knutson mortuary at Denmark. No Other Witnesses Aside from the drivers and passengers in the truck and Bittner car, Coroner Rau found no actual witnesses to the accident. Riding with Reetz in the brewery truck was Edward Pelishek, Denmark. In the Bittner car were Mr. and Mrs. Bittner, Melvin Bittner, Mr. and Mrs. William Georgenson and Vernon Georgenson. All reside near DePere. Gust Krieser was born in Cooperstown and spent his entire life on a farm. He married Miss Louise Kunz 33 years ago and purchased a farm near Rosecrans.
