DIANNE JEAN BUCHBERGER

Two Killed, Two Injured When Car Strikes Tree
Two Cleveland teen-agers were killed outright and two others were injured 
early Sunday when a car left County Trunk M, a half mile south of Franklin, 
and uprooted a large tree.
The dead were identified as John A. Logan, 18, the driver, and Miss Dianne 
Jean Buchberger, 16, a passenger in the front seat of the car.
Injured and reported in "fair" condition at St. Nicholas Hospital today were 
Thomas Wagner, 17, and miss Clementine Meyer, 16, also of Cleveland.
Miss Meyer was being treated for a fractured collarbone, a back injury and 
multiple bruises. Wagner's injuries included a fractured right leg and ankle and 
lacerations of the scalp and left leg.
It was the first double fatality accident in Sheboygan County this year and raised 
the county's 1959 highway death tool to five, compared with nine on this date a 
year ago.
Torn Out Of Ground
Investigating sheriff deputies said Logan's northbound car hurtled off a curve 
with such force that it torn an 18-inch diameter tree out of the ground, 125 feet 
beyond the edge of the highway, and then smashed into a smaller tree.
The car, a 1954 Chevrolet two-door sedan, was completely demolished.
Deputies said the uprooted tree tore through the frame metal of the auto and 
pinned both Logan and Miss Buchberger against the dashboard.
Wrecking equipment from a Plymouth garage had to be used to pull apart the 
twisted wreckage before the bodies could be extricated.
Miss Meyer and Wagner, who were riding in the back seat, were thrown from 
the auto after the impact. They landed about 10 feet beyond the wreckage.
Dr. Roman C. Pauly, acting county coroner, pronounced both victims dead at 
the scene.
He said Logan apparently died of a crushed chest and abdomen. He attributed 
Miss Buchberger's death to probable fractured neck and internal injuries. Both 
died instantly.
Sheriff Harold B. Kroll, who visited the scene of the accident Sunday morning, 
said the car narrowly missed hitting a large rock, about 30 inches high and four 
feet long, along the north side of the curve.
He said evidence at the scene indicated that the car, after hurtling a ditch along 
the edge of the road, may have spun through the air over the rock before 
crashing into the tree.
Cause of the accident remained a mystery today.
Miss Meyer, who was questioned at the hospital this morning by sheriff deputies, 
said she was sleep in the back seat of the car at the time of the mishap.
Flags Down Motorist
After being thrown from the car, she stumbled back to the road and flagged 
down a passing motorist who notified the sheriff's office from a nearby farm home.
Wagner was under sedation at the hospital today and could not be questioned.
Miss Meyer said she and the Buchberger girl had met Logan and Wagner at a 
wedding dance late Saturday night at the Tourist Inn at St. Wendel.
She said Logan offered to drive her and Dianne to another wedding dance at 
Laack's Hall in Johnsonville to look for Dianne's sister. They left St. Wendel 
between 11:30 p.m. and midnight.
The girls spend 15 or 20 minutes at Laack's hall, while Logan and Wagner waited 
outside in the car, and then began the return trip to Cleveland.
Miss Meyer told deputies that shortly after they let Johnsonville, Dianne fell asleep 
in the front seat and she fell asleep in the back. Neither had been drinking, she said.
The accident occurred shortly after 1 a.m.
Attended Central
Dianne, a daughter of Joseph and Loretta Piehl Buchberger of Cleveland, would 
have been a junior at Sheboygan Central High School this fall.
Logan, a 1958 graduate of Central High, was the son of Edward and Catherine 
Steinhardt Logan. he was employed at the Lakeshore Canning Co. at Cleveland.
Miss Buchberger was born Feb. 10, 1943, in Manitowoc County. She was a 
member of St. Wendel's Catholic Church and Catholic Order of Foresters and 
the CYO.
In addition to her parents, she is survived by a brother, John and a sister Mary Jane 
at home; her paternal grandmother, Mrs. Anna Buchberger, Hika, and her maternal 
grandfather, Charles Acker, Manitowoc. A brother, Joseph, died in infancy.

Central High in 1958 attended St. Wendel Elementary School. he was a member of 
St. Wendel Church and the Holy Name Society of the parish.

Miss Barbara of Dayton, Ohio, and Susan, at home, and his maternal grandparents,

WILLIAM SCHNEIDER

Threshing Accident Kills County Farmer
William Schneider, 51, town of Centerville farmer, was killed instantly Thursday afternoon when he fell head first into the whirling blades of his threshing machine which was in operation on the Frank Junk farm at the south end of the village of Centerville.
Schneider was standing on a wagon loaded with grain and was feeding bundles into the separator. Also on the wagon was Arno Thomas. They had finished unloading the wagon and Schneider reached down to pick up a bundle that had fallen between the threshing machine and the wagon. He apparently lost his footing, fell on the treadmill, and was drawn into the blades.
Thomas caught hold of Schneider’s legs and attempted to pull him out of the machine, but could not get good footing and was unable to do more than hold on until the machine was shut off.
It was believed that Schneider was alive when he was taken out of the machine, and Dr. F. A. Kolb, Howards Grove, and a priest were summoned. Dr. Theodore A. Teitgen, Manitowoc county coroner, said that death must have been instantaneous, however.

Oldest Resident of Cleveland Dies at Age 94
CLEVELAND—This village’s oldest resident and the oldest tavern license holder in the state, Hugo Schurrer, 94, died Tuesday morning at St. Nicholas Hospital, Sheboygan, where he had been a patient the past five days.
Schurrer had traveled half-way around the world from Stuttgart, Germany, where he was born, to make his home at Cleveland in 1885. He arrived in the United States in 1884 and made a brief stop at Milwaukee. 
He had been one of the most colorful personalities of the area, loving to tell stories about the “days when” at his Cleveland tavern.
Collects Stamps
His interests took him beyond tavern keeping. He collected stamps from the time he was six years of age and had several specimens of great value.
He had a collection of old photographs, some made more than 100 years ago and started an extensive collection of Indian arrowheads during the early 1930s when he ran a plow through some of them in a backyard garden. He sold some of these relics to the Chicago Field Museum.
He was born May 17, 1867, and had recently celebrated his 94th birthday with a large number of friends and relatives. At his birthday celebration, he also toasted to his 68th tavern keeping license.
Several Jobs
He held several jobs after coming to the United States. Early in his many-faceted career he earned 50 cents a day making fence posts and later moved up to 80 cents a day working for the Lake Shore and Western Railroad.
As a town constable in 1907 he and a Manitowoc sheriff captured four armed robbers who had held up a store at Hilbert. Schurrer was also town treasurer for two years, was a member of the school board for 28 years and was a substitute rural mail carrier 14 years.
He married Mary Kohn Feb. 19, 1893, and she preceded him in death two and a half years later. Also preceding him in death were two brothers and two daughters.
He married Barbara Diener of Vienna, Austria, Jan., 12, 1898, and the couple celebrated its golden wedding anniversary in 1948.
Played in Band
Years ago he played in the Centerville Germanie Band. He was a secretary of the G.U.G. Germania for many years and had been secretary of the local chapter of the Catholic Knights of Wisconsin for more than 50 years.
Surviving him are his wife; three sons, Theodore of Oshkosh, Edwin and Arthur of Hika; a daughter, Mrs. Ann Singleton, of Hika; six grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.
Funeral services will be at 9 a.m. Friday at Stoltenberg Funeral Chapel, Cleveland, and at 9:30 a.m. at St. Wendel Catholic Church, Cleveland, the Rev. Leo Ott officiating. Burial will be in St. George Cemetery, Hika.
Friends may call after 3 p.m. Thursday at the funeral home where the Rosary will be recited at 8 p.m. by members of the parish.

There's perfect joy and beauty In this everlasting light.

And He came Himself to meet me In that way so hard to tread; 
And with Jesus' arm to lean on, Could I have one doubt or dread?
