Miss Annie Muench of Green Bay, while on her way home to attend the funeral of her 
father, met with quite a serious accident in attempting to cross the bridge over the Branch 
River. The team missed the track where it was over flowed and went down into the river. 
Miss Muench and the teamster were thrown into the water and though in great danger of 
drowning she clung bravely to the ice and seeing the boy in danger managed to push him 
the seat of the wagon to which he clung. Their cries brought help in time to save them from 
drowning. Two sachels containing notes and cash to the amount of three hundred dollars, 
together with some clothing have not yet been recovered. The team belonged to Mr. 
O'Brien of Rockland, one horse was drowned.

DAMAGE SUIT MAY RESULT
Kellnersville Rural Carrier Rig is Smashed and Horse Hurt
Complications in which the government may take lead and a damage suit a is possible as the result of a runaway accident at Kellnersville Friday in which the delivery wagon of Charles Muench, a rural mail carrier, was demolished and one of the horses badly injured. The runaway is said to  have been caused by a herd of twenty horses which was being driven along the road and for which Muench was obliged to turn out.  The rural carrier drove into a ditch, his team took fright and ran away, dashing into a barb wire fence and completely demolished the wagon. One of the horses was badly hurt by the wire. Muench was unhurt, aside from a few bruises. it is probable that the owner of the horses, which caused the runaway, will be asked to settle a claim for damages to the wagon and horse and the fact that the U.S. laws provide that rural carriers have the right of way on the road, may make the case an interesting one should the claim be contested.

Notes From Kellnersville:
Miss Ella Neidl, aged 13 years, died Saturday night after an illness of six months. Her parents and five sisters survive her. The funeral was held Tuesday from St. Joseph's Catholic church. Interment was in the adjoining cemetery.
no one can explain why a young girl, such as was Ella Neidl should be called from this life at thirteen.
Vainly groping after tie infinite meanings we cry: Why should so precious a life be taken? The old, old question which will never be answered till the veil of our mortal vision be rent by immortality, and we see, not as now, darkly, but face to face. Then also may we behold the heavenly mansion which perhaps she was called thither, thus early, to help prepare for her loved ones.
"For non return from those spirit shores
Who cross with the boatman cold and pale
We hear the dip of the golden oars
And catch a gleam of the snowy sail
We only know that their baroques no more
May sail with us o'er life's stormy sea
Yet somewhere, we know, on the unseen shore
They watch and wait for you and me"

CAR RAMS SPEEDING TRAIN; KELLNERSVILLE MAN IS KILLED
Tony Nemecek, Dad of Seven, Crash Victim
Engine Of Auto Found On Road; Body Tossed Out
MANITOWOC—Antone (Tony) Nemecek, 46, father of seven children 
employed at an industrial plant here, died Wednesday afternoon after his 
car struck a speeding southbound Chicago and North Western Road passenger 
train at the Menasha Avenue crossing adjacent to Manitowoc Municipal Airport.
The accident occurred at 4:35 p.m. in a heavy rainstorm as Nemecek was on 
his way home to Kellnersville.  The train was en-route to Milwaukee from 
Green Bay.  It stops at Manitowoc.
The car rammed the train in the first and only coach behind the engine, 
striking the coach at the front stairs, flipping sideways until the rear struck the 
air-conditioning unit midway on the coach and then was tossed 63 feet east 
and south of the tracks.  Nemecek's body flew through the buckled right front 
door and was found 43 feet from the tracks and 88 feet from the automobile.  
The engine of the 1957 Ford automobile was sheared off at the scene of the 
crash.  The car was not equipped with seat belts.
Pulls Emergency
Impact knocked the air conditioning unit loose and it dragged for half a mile 
before the train could be brought to a halt.  The unit measures about 4 feet wide, 
five feet long and three feet high and weighs more than a ton.
“I thought we were heading for the ditch so I pulled the emergency cord.” 
Conductor Harold Campbell of Green Bay said.  Campbell, who is 64, had been 
with the railroad for 48 years and will retire in 15 days.  With the train heading 
for the huge trestle over the Manitowoc River and the unit dislodged, he said 
he spent
(Continued on Page T-5)
some anxious moments.  The train stopped underneath the Waldo Boulevard 
overhead.
The train, No. 102, had left Green Bay at 3:25 p.m. and was due in Manitowoc at 
4:15 p.m. Some time was lost on the way and the unit was late coming into 
Manitowoc, although it was not exceeding the 69 mile per hour speed limit set for 
it.  According to the conductor, the accident occurred at 4:35 p.m. There were 10 
passengers aboard and eight were waiting for the train in the Manitowoc station.  
There was some delay in checking out the locomotive and putting on a new coach 
and the train, scheduled to leave Manitowoc at 4:35 p.m. left at 6:30 p.m. instead.  
The locomotive was not damaged in the accident.
No Skid Marks
A rumor that passengers had been warned to lie on the floor because of possible 
derailment was discounted by Roderick Hoard, supervising agent for the railroad.
“Things happened so fast there wasn't time.  Nobody was quite sure of just what 
had happened at the time and the train stopped before any reflex action could take 
place.” he said.
Engineer Cyril DeFrance of Green Bay said the train was traveling about 69 miles 
an hour at the time of the accident.
Fireman Franklin Burgom of Green Bay told police he saw the automobile 
approaching and then the front of the car bore down as if the driver were 
attempting to brake.  Police said there were no skid marks before the impact.
Mrs. Marvin (Kay) Braun, 21 of Whitelaw told police she was driving about a 
quarter block behind the Nemecek car.  She said she saw the red wig-wag lights 
go on.
“They were no sooner on than the train was going through.  The car few up in the 
air with pieces scattering all over.  It looked as if the car side-swiped the train.” 
she said.  She said she heard no train whistle.  It was raining hard at the time.
Rushed to Hospital
Police were notified of the accident through a call from Louis Kakuk Fr., at the 
airport at 4:37 p.m.  He said a man had been hurt.  Police found Nemecek lying 
down the right of way, put him on a cot, rushed him to Memorial Hospital but 
noticed on the way that he seemed to be dead and radioed for the coroner.  
There was no identification on the man but his wallet was found later at the scene.
Manitowoc County coroner Dr. Theodore Teitgen pronounced the man dead at the 
hospital and said death had resulted from skull fractures and other injuries.  It 
was known that the driver worked at Manitowoc Equipment Works so police 
contacted personnel manager Bernard Hagen of that firm.  Hagen came to the 
morgue and made the identification.
Menecek was born at Wausaukee, Marinette County, June 20, 1916, son of the 
late James and Margaret Wessley Nemecek.  The family moved to Denmark in 
1932 and Jan. 28, 1941, Nemecek entered military service, serving with Company 
B, 30th Infantry.
He obtained his military discharge Aug. 12, 1942, and March 6, 1943, married 
Marie Schlies at St. Lawrence Catholic Church, Stangelville.  The couple 
resided several years at Green Bay and moved to Kellnersville eight years ago.
Spot Welder
Nemecek had been employed as a spot welder at the Equipment Works and also 
worked as a bartender at the Norman Kubsch tavern and eating establishment 
at Kellnersville.
He was a member of Manitowoc County Chapter Izaak Walton League, Maribel 
Sportsmen's club, Kellnersville unit of Manitowoc Fish and Game Protective 
Assn., International Association of Machinists, Lakeshore Lodge No. 2065, and 
Johnson-Hershman American Legion Post, Denmark.
Surviving are his wife, four sons, three daughters (private); four brothers, James 
and William of Appleton, George of Hortonville and Joseph of Menasha; and five 
sisters, Mrs. Archie Wolfe, of Maribel, Mrs. Fred Konop, Mrs. Emil Buyarski and

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free; I'm following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard Him call; I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day. To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way; I found that place at the close of day. If my parting has left a void. Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss; Ah, yes, these things, I too, will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow; I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much; Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.

John Panoch Aged 60 Hurt When Fly Wheel Bursts
WAS CUTTING FEED; FORK DRAWN IN MAW
BULLETIN.
Report received at 4 o'clock this afternoon stated that Mr. Panoch had failed to survive his injuries and died without regaining consciousness.
What is expected to prove a fatal accident, occurred to John Panoch, a Kellnersville farmer, just before noon today when a fly wheel on a feed cutter he was assisting to operate broke and one of the flying pieces of the wheel inflicted injuries that rendered him unconscious. He was taken to his house and is being cared for but physicians hold forth little hope for his recovery.
Mr. Panoch is past 60 years of age and was pushing the ensilage into the feed cutter with a fork. The machine drew in the tines of the fork and the lower portion of the handle and then the fly wheel gave way. The broken parts struck Panoch with terrible force and his body is said to have been badly lacerated.
Panoch is married and has a wife and family of children.

CHARLES RATHSACK

Found Lying In Milk House, Farmer Dies
Apparently Hit Head On Metal Wednesday Night
TAUS – Charles Rathsack, 43, of Rt. 1, Cato died en route to Holy Family 
Hospital Thursday morning after a milk route collection man, Richard Lang, 
making his rounds at 9:15 a.m. found the farmer lying unconscious in the milk house.
Lang crossed the road diagonally to the home of a neighbor and telephoned 
Coroner Dr. Theodore Teitgen.
Rathsack, who lives a mile west and a mile north of Cato, was lying face up 
with his head across a small iron sill.  It was surmised that he had either fainted 
or slipped, striking his head and fracturing his skull.  The fracture matches with 
the pipe on the floor.
All indications were that the accident happened Wednesday night.  The electric 
milkers were still running.  One had been kicked off by a cow and there was 
still milk in one of the machines.  Only part of the herd had been milked.
Sheriff Al Gill and his men had difficulty completing the investigation.  Rathsack's 
wife was visiting in Sturgeon Bay and no one else was at home.  County traffic 
police put through a call to Madison via DePere for a license check, obtained 
the license number of the Rathsack car and Sturgeon Bay police, using the 
number found Mrs. Rathsack.  She is returning home.
Dr. Teitgen said death was “purely accidental.”  He theorized Rathsack had 
slipped while walking into the milk house and struck his head on the iron pipe.  
Examination revealed the farmer had “a big bump on the back of his head,” 
according to the doctor, who said death was due to a cerebral hemorrhage.

Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the day of life is fled
And in heaven with joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.
