3 KILLED IN AUTO CRASH AT WHITELAW
WHITELAW (Special) – One of Manitowoc County's worst traffic accidents
in years took the lives of three people on Highway 10 here early today.
Killed in a two-car head-on crash were:
Mrs. Joseph Stuiber, 59, Whitelaw
Leo Lemberger, 31, Whitelaw
Kermit Goehring, 31, Clarks Mills.
Although there were no actual witnesses to the accident, Manitowoc
County traffic officers reported that the westbound Goehring car was
in the wrong lane when the autos collided at the western edge of the
village about 2:10 a.m.
Lemberger, father of three young children, and eastbound on the road,
was taking Mrs. Stuiber to her nearby home in the village. The dead
woman, an aunt of Lemberger's wife, had been baby sitting with
children of the young couple.
Her husband, Joseph, is a drummer with the Romy Gosz polka band and
had been away on a dance engagement.  He arrived home after the crash
and was walking over to the scene when a traffic officer informed him
that his wife was one of the victims.
Was To Be Married
Mrs. Stuiber had been the telephone switchboard operator in Whitelaw
for 15 years until the installation of the dial system recently. She
was also the organist at St. Michael Catholic Church here for 22 years
and local secretary for the Catholic Knights of Wisconsin.
Both drivers were killed instantly, while Mrs. Stuiber was dead on
arrival at Holy Family Hospital in Manitowoc.  There were no other
persons in either cars.
According to reports, Goehring, who lived on his parents' farm about a
quarter mile west of Clarks Mills, was to have married a Rockwood
girl, Miss Elaine Trochil, in about a week.  He was said to be
en-route home after visiting her when the crash occurred.  The young
couple had spent the evening addressing invitations for their coming
wedding.  For the past six months Goehring had been employed at Kohler
Co.
Traffic officers said both cars were total wrecks, pointing out that
the impact must have been “terrific.”
Both Mrs. Stuiber and Lemberger sustained severe internal injuries.
Double Funeral
Double funeral services for Mrs. Stuiber and Lemberger will be held at
the Pfeffer Funeral Home in Manitowoc at 9:15 a.m. Monday, following
with the requiem mass for both will be at St. Michael Church,
Whitelaw, at 10 o'clock.  Both will be buried in the parish cemetery.
The Rev. John Husslein, pastor, will officiate.
Service for Goehring will be held at the Berge Funeral Home, Valders,
at 9 a.m. Wednesday and at 9:30 at St. Mary Catholic Church, Clarks

She was a member of the St. Michael's Christian Mother's Society and a lifetime member of St. Michael's Catholic Church. She was a woman of deep religious faith, praying a rosary or two daily. She was a hard working farmer and housewife who never had a complaint. In addition to the cattle, she enjoyed raising chickens, ducks, rabbits, and pigs on the farm. She spent much of her time taking care of her grandchildren, neighbor's and relative's children. She was gifted with growing gorgeous flowers and large gardens, mending many shirts and pants, crocheting unique doilies, fishing with her children, and polka dancing with her husband. She was a great trooper even as dementia set in. She was very fortunate to be in the heart of the chaos and the camaraderie of residing with her daughter's family for 12 years. In addition to attending countless sporting and school events, the grandchildren kept her occupied in many other ways. Whether it was giving her wheelie spins in her wheelchair, being sprayed by squirt guns or almost being thrown off of a golf cart, she endured much for some wonderful memories.
Survivors include five children, eight grandchildren and five great grandchildren: Mary Lou Reimer, Whitelaw; Gary (Denise) Preston, Whitelaw, and their son, Lance (Erin) Preston, Whitelaw and their children Leilyn and Dalton Preston; Terry (Barb) Preston, Cato, and their children Sara and special friend, Christopher Naidl, Dawn (Todd) Gadicke, St. Cloud and their children, Preston, Clara & Emma Gadicke; Robin, and Emily and special friend, Josh Kopecky; Randy (Joy) Preston, Two Rivers; and Judy (Bob) Ebert, Whitelaw and their children Alex and special friend Anna Zellner, Abby and fiancé, Andrew Kopecky, and Adam, Whitelaw.

He died of internal injuries at 6:10 a.m. Sunday at Holy Family Hospital, Manitowoc.  Dr. Teitgen said Remiker, his father, Edward and another man, James W. Tienor, 24, of Whitelaw, were attempting to free a tractor and manure spreader which had become stuck in snow drifts.
