Calvin Earley Victim; Two Others Hurt
Vehicle Misses Curve, Snaps Two Poles, Rams Tree
MISHICOT-A deer hunting trip to northern Wisconsin ended in tragedy early Friday 
for three young men from Two Rivers whose car failed to negotiate a curve two 
miles west of this village on Highway 147.
Calvin J. Earley, 24, of 2614-14th St., was killed instantly in the crash and 
two companions were injured, one critically.
Hospitalized at Two Rivers Municipal Hospital were Richard A. Meineke, 26, 2310 
Washington St., the driver, and Sheldon Domnitz, 24, of 1714-21st St., Two Rivers.
Coroner Dr. Theodore Teitgen said Meineke was in critical condition with head and 
chest injuries and a severe jaw injury. Domnitz was believed to be less seriously 
hurt.
Numerous Injuries
Earley suffered numerous severe injuries including a skull fracture, crushed chest 
and broken arms and legs.
A passerby, Richard Hess, 20, of Rt. 1, Mishicot, tried unsuccessfully to revive 
Earley at the scene with mouth to mouth resuscitation.
(snip-traffic stats)
The accident was investigated by County Police Officers Tony Kubis and Leo Naidl, 
who said the three men were returning to Two Rivers from a hunting trip in the 
Eagle River area. They had left that city about 5 p.m. Thursday. Police were 
notified of the accident at 12:06 a.m. Friday.
Wrapped Around Tree
The officers reported that the car was traveling east on 147 at a high rate of 
speed when it failed to make the curve. It struck and broke two telephone poles 
before slamming head-on into a large tree which measured about 20 inches in 
diameter. The car reportedly traveled 383 feet off the roadway before it hit the 
tree.
The 1960 model vehicle literally was wrapped around the tree. The pedal from the 
clutch or brake was found in the center of the front seat where the three men 
had been sitting. The steering wheel and dashboard were crushed up against the 
roof of the vehicle, according to Officer Kubis.
Meineke stayed in the wrecked vehicle. The other two were found lying just out 
the right front door. Several rifles owned by the men were smashed or damaged 
by the terrific impact.

DIVES OFF BRIDGE AND SAVES LIFE
Diving off a bridge into the cold water takes real “nerve” and when the act 
results in saving a human life it is worthy of special recognition and reward. 
Arthur Mermuys performed this act Sunday last when he saved the life of Felix 
Zur, son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Zur. The lad was fishing and fell off the roof 
of one of the boat houses near the railroad bridge. The cries of the boy's 
mother, who was near attracted the attention of Mermuys who was crossing the 
bridge and he noticed the little fellow in the water. Hastily removing his coat 
and not taking the extra time it would require to run back and along the bank, 
Mr. Mermuys dove off the bridge and rescued the lad who was about to go down 
for the third time. Frank Herbst, who was near by lifted the boy from Mermuys' 
arms.
The water where the Zur lad was rescued is of considerable depth. There is no 
doubt that had Mermuys not come along at the time and leaped to the rescue, the 
child would have been drowned. Although Mr. Mermuys is a good swimmer, the act 
required considerable nerve as the water was quite cold and there was danger of 
cramp. The lad who was rescued had considerable water in his lungs and was 
unconscious but a physician was called and he was soon normal. The Coast Guard 
crew had been summoned and Capt. Stahl arrived after the rescue.

BERT MERRILL

BERT MERRILL SENDS HELP TO THEIR HOMES
Pillows Head Under Exhaust of Car in Neshotah Park - Was Third Attempt
Bert O. Merrill, 63, Twelfth St., Two Rivers, an automobile salesman adopted a 
unique method in the lonely recesses of Neshotah Park, Two Rivers, to end his 
life last night. Running his car into a clump of bushes off the road through 
the park, Merrill removed a seat cushion of the car, pillowed his head directly 
beneath the exhaust pipe of the car and lay down on the ground to await death. 
His body was found by Arthur Johnson, his employer, this morning, when Merrill's 
daughter appealed to him to locate her father, who had not returned home last 
night.
The suicide of Merrill was the third attempt made by the Two Rivers' man to end 
his life. His other two attempts had been frustrated by relatives. When the body 
of the dead man was found this morning, the engine of the car was still running 
and his face and the shoulders of his overcoat were coated with frost deposited 
by the warm vapors of the exhaust.
Coroner W.G. Kemper, who was summoned from this city after the discovery of the 
body announced that the case was one of suicide and that there would be no inquest. 
The body was later removed to the Beduhn and Goetz Funeral Home at Two Rivers. 
It was announced that funeral plans had not been made.
Mr. Merrill was last seen alive at ten o'clock last night. At that time he had 
informed two men who were trying to help him extricate his car which had gone 
over an embankment in Neshotah Park that he would wait until morning to get his 
car back on the road. He told them that he would stay with the car overnight and 
they left. From the position of the body right underneath the exhaust pipe it was 
evident that he had lain down in a position so that the exhaust fumes from the 
idling motor of the car would strike him full in the face. The suicide verdict 
was also strengthened by the fact about 18 months ago, Mr. Merrill closed himself 
in his garage with the engine running and was found unconscious just in the nick 
of time by his family. The same night he laid down in the basement with gas jets 
in a laundry stove turned on but was again rescued in time, while police remained 
overnight to guard against further suicide efforts. Recently he had been in better 
spirits however.
The discovery of the body was made by Arthur Johnson, his employer at 8:25 o'clock 
this morning, following information from Mr. Merrill's daughter that her father 
did not return home last night. Mr. Johnson immediately instituted a search and 
finally observed the machine off the roadway in Neshotah Park.
It developed that Mr. Merrill who had returned from Milwaukee at six o'clock last 
night with a new Chrysler sedan had informed Mr. Johnson that he had a prospect 
on Jackson Street and wanted to demonstrate the machine. The unknown prospect was 
not with Mr. Merrill when he called at the home of Herman Karnitz Sr. at 8:45 
o'clock last night to inquire for Karnitz's son, Herman, an employee of the Johnson 
garage to help him push the car into the road. August Messmann, a neighbor, came 
to Mr. Merrill's assistance and succeeded in pushing the machine into a position 
so that it could be backed into the road. But the machine later coasted down a 
slight incline and jammed among the trees.
Being of no more assistance, Mr. Karnitz told Mr. Merrill that he could call a 
wrecker from the garage but the latter opposed the gesture, declaring that 
everything would be all right in the morning. "Mr. Merrill was in unusually high 
spirits last night when he returned from Milwaukee with the new car," said Mr. 
Johnson. "He was determined to leave for the East Side where he said he had a 
prospect on Jackson Street and was perfectly sober."
Just how Mr. Merrill drove his machine off the driveway into a small patch could 
not be determined. The sedan was several hundred feet off the roadway when he came 
to the Karnitz home nearby and asked for assistance. About 8:30 o'clock this 
morning, Dr. A.P. Zlatnik was called and after a brief examination, pronounced 
the man dead. About the time, the Two Rivers physician was summoned, Officer Fay 
Thorne put in a call to Coroner W.G. Kemper here. The car was only slightly 
scratched about the right fender.
Mr. Merrill is survived by his widow, two sons and three daughters.
