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.

HAZEL C. FLANAGAN Two Rivers, Wisconsin - Hazel Catherine Flanagan, age 103 + 10 months passed away after a short illness at Meadow View Assisted Living, where she had been a resident the past 6 ½ years. Born March 18, 1917, Mom was the second of two daughters of the late Charles and Maude (LaFond) Brandtner. She was born, raised, and lived in Two Rivers all of her life, except for a brief time whle she and Dad lived in Badger Village, WI while Dad attended UW-Madison. Mom was a proud graduate of Washington High School, Class of 1935. Mom married Barney Flanagan on August 25, 1940; he preceded her in death in 1988. Prior to his death they traveled widely in the U.S. and enjoyed spending time with Jack & Mary Richgels (Dad's sister/brother-in-law) and dear friends, Dan & Shirley Fogeltanz and Clarence & Irma Glesner. Together, they were active in couples golfing and bowling, and after Dad died, Mom was a long-time volunteer at the Hamilton Memorial Home, remarking that as a volunteer, she was older than some of the folks who resided there. Mom was employed several years in the secretarial pool at Hamilton Manufacturing Company (and according to her "hated it!) until she received her CNA certificate (certified nursing assistant) after which she worked at Two Rivers Community Hospital until her retirement. Hazel/Mom/Gram/G-G (great grandma) will be remembered for her feistiness and her "zinger" remarks to which no one was immune. She had a wicked sense of humor and a contagious laugh: once she got going it was hard to stop. She will also be remembered as an avid reader....there are library books still at her bedside....and especially author, JD Robb. Mom continued to do acrostics up until her illness and loved the Milwaukee Brewers, especially "the young one:" Christian Yelich. His picture hangs on her wall. Sadly, she was NOT a fan of the Green Bay Packers and frequently lamented that that's all the area sports newscasters reported on. In addition to her parents and husband, Mom was preceded in death by one sister, bernice Kuecker, brother-in-law/sisters-in-law: Eddie & Annella (Flanagan) DeRoche, Arthur Flannagan, and Jack & Mary (Flanagan) Richgels.

She is further survived by six great grandchildren: Ethan Zellner, Emma Zellner, Abby Klawes, Ryan Klawes, and the "littles:" Neva Pritz and Stella Pritz. She is further survived by nieces and nephews. Private Family Services were held at the Klein & Stangel Funeral Home, Two Rivers.

Should anyone wish to remember Mom, please consider a donation in Mom's memory to the Lester Public Library, the American Heart Association or to a charity of the donor's choice.

A special Thank You is extended to her "family" at Meadow View Assisted Living.

Special thanks to her friend "Grace:" she loved you very much and to Debbie, Mom's favorite cook! Thanks also to Aurora VNA/Hospice for your attentiveness and for making her last days more comfortable! Green Bay Press-Gazette, Wis., January 9, 2021
