LEONA A. SHIMEK AREA WOMAN KILLED IN CAR-TRAIN CRASH Leona Shimek of Cleveland Road Fatality Her Husband Is Hospitalized With Concussion MANITOWOC--Manitowoc County recorded its first traffic fatality of 1965 with the death of a Cleveland area woman in a car-train crash two miles west of the city on a town toad Saturday afternoon. The victim was Mrs. Leona Shimek, 48, who was pronounced dead on arrival at Memorial Hospital. She suffered severe head injuries. Dr. Theodore Teitgen, county coroner, said an inquest would be held into the accident in the next three or four weeks. The county did not register its first fatality in 1964 until Feb. 9, according to records kept by county traffic police. Mrs. Shimek's husband, Lloyd, 45, who was driving the car, was hospitalized with a concussion and lacerations. He is expected to be released sometime Tuesday. Struck Twice The accident occurred at 5:30 p.m. at a point about 200 feet north of Muench's tavern and ballroom. County police officers said Shimek was traveling south on the town road when his car collided with a 62-car Soo Line freight train being pulled by two diesel engines. The car struck the lead unit near the middle, then spun around and was hit by the second unit. It finally landed in a ditch along the railroad tracks 30 to 40 feet from the point of impact. Both occupants apparently remained in the automobile. The car was not equipped with seat belts. Police said the train was going about 30 miles an hour and that the engineer had set the emergency brake system after noticing the car. The train had sounded its horn and the oscillating headlight on the engine was in operation. Slippery Conditions Investigation showed there were slippery road conditions at the scene. Police were not able to question Shimek because of his shocked condition. He and his wife had been visiting friends north of Francis Creek and were enroute to their home, according to Doctor Teitgen. The accident did not seriously affect operation of the train and it continued to Fond du Lac. Mrs. Shimek, the former Leona Klein, was born Oct. 29, 1911, at Appleton, daughter of the late Charles Klein and Anna Lawerentz Klein.

NAZIANZ - A 29 year old deer hunter was killed late Saturday night when his car slammed in to an embankment and flipped over on its top five miles south of this community at a t-intersection linking Highways A and 149. Authorities said Ronald. C. Wernecke of Rt. 3, Manitowoc, died of a broken neck apparently when the vehicle hit the embankment. His body was found strapped with a seat belt in the overturned vehicle. He was dressed in hunting clothes. According to county police, Wernecke was traveling south on A alone when his car skidded through an arterial sign, struck the embankment with its right front section and landed on its top. The 1964 model Rambler two door sedan was listed as a total wreck. Farmer Heard Crash A farmer who lives in the area heard the crash and notified the police. Dr. Theodore A. Teitgen, county coroner, who investigated, said Wernecke had been staying at a cottage at Cedar Lake with two cousins while deer hunting. He had returned to his home briefly and was on his way back to the cottage when the accident occurred at about 11:45 p.m. Doctor Teitgen said Wernecke was familiar with the road and that he may have been day dreaming or dozed off at the wheel. Hid death raised the county's 1968 traffic fatality toll to 23 persons compared with 21 for the entire year of 1967. The accident involving Wernecke was similar in several respects to the fatal county crash Nov. 17 which claimed the life of Donald A. Schwahn, 17, of Rt. 1, Reedsville. Schwahn was found dead in a car which slammed into a tree 4 1/2 miles northwest of Reedsville during the early morning hours.

RONALD WERNECKE Manitowoc Hunter Killed as Car Flips Breaks Neck; Body Strapped With Seat Belt Ronald Wernecke Victim; Vehicle Hits Embankment ST. NAZIANZ — A 29-year-old deer hunter was killed late Saturday night when his car slammed into an embankment and flipped over on its top five miles south of this community at a T-intersection linking Highways A and 149. Authorities said Ronald C. Wernecke of Rt. 3, Manitowoc, died of a broken neck apparently when the vehicle hit the embankment. His body was found strapped with a seat belt in the overturned vehicle. He was dressed in hunting clothes. According to county police, Wernecke was traveling south on A alone when his car skidded through an arterial sign, struck the embankment with its right front section and landed on its top. The 1964 model Rambler two door sedan was listed as a total wreck. Farmer Heard Crash A farmer who lives in the area heard the crash and notified police. Dr. Theodore A. Teitgen, county coroner, who investigated, said Wernecke had been staying at a cottage at Cedar Lake with two cousins while deer hunting. He had returned to his home briefly and was on his way back to the cottage when the accident occurred at about 11:45 p.m. Doctor Teitgen said Wernecke was familiar with the road and that he may have been day dreaming or dozed off at the wheel. His death raised the county's 1968 traffic fatality toll to 23 persons compared with 21 for the entire year of 1967. The accident involving Wernecke was similar in several respects to the fatal, county crash Nov. 17 which claimed the life of Donald A. Schwahn, 17, of Rt. 1, Reedsville. Schwahn was found dead in a car which slammed into a tree 4 1/2 miles northwest of Reedsville during the early morning hours. Funeral Tuesday Mr. Wernecke was born May 11, 1939, at Menominee, Mich., son of Warner and Erna Heinemann Wernecke. He came to Manitowoc in 1942 and was a 1961 graduate of Lincoln High School.
