CATHERINE DARON  

HEART ATTACK FATAL ON WAY TO HOSPITAL
Mrs. Katherine Daron, Strucken on Downtown Street, Dies While on Way to Hospital
Stricken with a heart attack early last evening as she was walking along 
S. Eighth street with two of her daughters, Mrs. Katherine Daron, 65, 
924 S. Seventeeth street, died in a taxicab in which she was being rushed 
to the Holy Family hospital for treatment. She was pronounced dead by
a physician who met the cab at the hospital entrance.
The sudden death has proved a decided shock to members of her
immediate family and to friends who had no knowledge that she was not
in good health. She had been downtown during the afternoon and was
apparently well when she started crossing the bridge south on her way
home and was stricken near Quay street. As she was being supported by
the two daughters who were with her, Officer Walter Herman appeared
on the scene and he asked if he could be of assistance. He called a taxicab
and ordered that the stricken woman be taken to the hospital but before
arrival there Mrs. Daron had expired.
Resided Here Many Years
Born in Germany on November, 25, 1866, Mrs. Daron, nee Katheine 
Sitkewitz, was a resident of this city and county for many years. She 
came to this country with her parents when she was a young girl and for 
some time made her home at Newton. She was married in 1883 and with
her husband took up her residence in this city. She had resided at 924 S.
Seventeeth street since the death of her husband several years ago.
Immediate survivors include five daughters, Mrs. Alex Herman, Mrs. 
John Komorsky, Mrs. John Woyta, Mrs. Rudy Howarth and Mrs. Oscar 
Wendorf, all of this city; two sons, John and August Daron, this city; five
brothers, Lawrence of Chicago; Louis of Thiensville; George of Milwaukee,
John of Newton and Joseph of Manitowoc, and three sisters, Mrs. Susan
Karbowsky, Two Rivers; Mrs. William Theidman, Sheboygan, and Mrs.
Michael Plotka of Manitowoc. Seventeen grandchildren and one great 
grandchild also survive.
The remains will be removed from the Leschke funeral home late this
afternoon and funeral services will be held from the home at 924 South
Seventeeth street at 9:00  o’clock and from the St. Mary church at 9:30
o’clock on Monday morning with Rev. Pociecha officiating. Interment

Cause of Flames Which Took girl's Life Unknown

The cause of the fire remained undetermined today with authorities 
leaning to the theory that the blaze was started accidentally when 
the children played with matches. Corrugated paper which lined the 
walls and ceiling of the second floor burned in a "flash" fire, 
according to Chief John Gaedke. Virginia was found by Assistant 
Chief Edward Woods in a bed with the covers pulled over her head. 
Firemen Palmer Rosinsky searched two beds in the front room and Woods 
searched two beds in the rear room. Other children were saved.
Firemen laid in one line of 2 1/2 inch hose and two booster lines 
and extinguished the blaze quickly.

EDWARD A. DENOR 

Train-Truck Crash Kills Mishicot Driver
Edward Denor, Cheesemaker, Smashup Victim
Fire Breaks Out Following Impact, Body is Burned
ROCKWOOD-  A train-truck collision a quarter mile east of this 
unincorporated Manitowoc County village Tuesday afternoon killed 
a prominent Mishicot cheesemaker, caused property damage 
estimated at nearly $9,000 and disrupted Chicago and North 
Western rail service for a period of time.
Victim of the crash was Edward A. Denor, 48, father of two 
children, who was driving a bulk milk tank truck owned by Kornely 
Guernsey Farms Dairy, Denor had been a cheesemaker 28 years, 
the last 18 as operator of Saxonburg Cheese Factory at Mishicot. 
Since August of this year, he had been employed by the Kornely 
firm.
Following the impact, fire broke out in the truck, burned the driver’s 
body beyond recognition and damaged the diesel engine.
Slides Onto Tracks
The accident occurred about 3:20 p.m. at a slight grade crossing 
on the snow and ice covered Lime Kiln Road east of Rockwood. 
There was a railroad warning sign at the scene but no automatic 
signals.
Denor had just picked up a load of milk at the Clarence (Butch) 
Kornely farm about 100 yards east of the crossing and apparently 
saw the Chicago and North Western passenger train too late to 
stop at the crossing but slid onto the tracks into the path of the train 
which was traveling an estimated 63 miles an hour. Black said the 
truck was going three to five miles an hour when it was struck.
Black reported that he sounded the regular crossing signal before 
reaching the road crossing. The signal included two long, one short 
and another long horn blast.
Cab Ripped Off
Police said Denor’s vision may have been obscured by a house 
and high embankment on the sout side of the roadway.
The train ripped the cab from the tank and ground the cab underneath, 
where it caught fire, dragging the wreckage about a third of a mile 
before it stopped. The train eventually was backed up 30 to 40 feet 
to dislodge the twisted steel from the undercarriage of the locomotive 
and Denor’s body slipped from the
(Continued on Page T-3)
Train Crash
(Continued from Page 1)
wreckage onto the tracks, according to police. 
The fire filled the locomotive cab with smoke and burned out the 
electrical power and heating assembly so that the passenger cars 
were without heat for the remainder of the trip.
Damage estimates were $8,000 loss on the 1954 model truck, 
$240 to its contents and %500 to the diesel engine. The truck was 
believed to be carrying about 6,000 pounds of milk.
Behind Schedule
The train No. __53, enroute from Milwaukee to Green Bay, was 
15 minutes behind schedule at the time of the accident and was delayed 
an hour and 20 minutes at the scene. Two other trains, one southbound 
and the other going north, were also delayed because of the accident.
A truck from the Rockwood Volunteer Fire Dept. and two wrecker 
trucks from Meihsner Ambulance and Wrecker Service, Manitowoc, 
experienced trouble getting to the wreckage and burning train locomotive. 
The units bogged down in snow in a field but eventually were extricated. 
A county highway grader was called to assist in freeing the wreckers….
Denor was born in the Town of Frnaklin, Manitowoc County, Sept. 1, 
1913, son of the late Peter and Catherine Wagner Denor. He married 
Frances Rady Oc.t 16, 1940.
Funeral Services
