FERDINAND KRUEGER BROKE HIP IN JUMP FROM CAR Ferd Kreuger, Gibson Farmer, Seriously Injured at Two Rivers Ferdinand Kreuger, a Town of Gibson farmer, was seriously hurt at Two Rivers Thursday when he fell while attempting to alight from a car of the Traction Company lines, Kreuger having suffered a fracture of the hip. The accident happened when Kreuger made an attempt to alight from the car by leaping backward from the step.

CLARENCE KUNZ Clarence Kunz, Rt. 2, Two Rivers, was fatally injured last night when his car crashed into a tree at 27th Street and Meadow Lane. No one saw the crash. Police said Kunz was evidently driving west on Western Avenue, failed to make the bend onto Meadow Lane, and hit the curbing on the northwest corner. The front wheels of the car jumped the curbing but the rear wheels crashed against the curb and the car slid sideways into a tree. Kunz was crushed against the tree. No inquest. The accident gave Manitowoc city and county the first highway fatality of 1941. District attorney John C. Danielson, Assistant District Attorney Patrick Dewane, and Dr. Theodore Teitgen, county coroner, said today after investigating the crash that there will be no inquest. Kunz died at 10:18 last night at the Holy Family Hospital where he was taken in the police ambulance after the crash which occurred at 8:28. The youth suffered a broken neck, a skull fracture, broken ribs, a broken left leg and left jaw, and numerous minor breaks as well as cuts and bruises.

Neighbors, who heard the crash, called police. Officers Andrew Pribek and Daniel Langenkamp took the ambulance to the scene and officer Emil Schultz filed the report at the police station. Chief J.J.

WILLIE LEVENHAGEN Death of 28-yr. old Wilhelm Levenhagen last Fri. in Mishicott following a five year illness. Der Nord Westen, June 30, 1898 ******** Notes From Mishicott: Relatives from distant points who attended the funeral of Willie Levenhagen last Tuesday, Fred Levenhagen, Wausau, Mr. and Mrs. J. Lindstedt, Manitowoc, Mr. and Mrs. Ira Levenhagen, Two Rivers. After a short but severe illness, Willie Levenhagen has succumbed to the inexorable mandate of fate, and death claimed its own last Saturday evening. Deceased was about 28 years of age, a son of Mr. Henry Levenhagen Sr. Willie had been n invalid for years suffering from a weakness of the heart which gradually undermined his otherwise strong constitution. His father died a few years ago leaving his invalid son and widowed mother to spend their remaining days on earth together. The mother has survived the son and perhaps 'twas better so, for she has seen her youngest and dearest consigned by loving friends to an eternal rest and she has just one hope left - that she may follow them soon to where all is peace. The funeral took place Tuesday, Mr. Fred Classen delivering the funeral oration.
