Road Crash Results in Bad Injury Men Who Stopped to Help Motorists are Hit by Auto

Irony of Fate Has Part in Accident

Adolph Radey has Fractured Collar Bone and Shoulder, Bad Cuts and Bruises and C. J. Stieber is Suffering With Many Gashes and Body Bruises as Result of Stopping to Help Motorists.

Struck by a car drive by R. D. Rowlands of Racine when they climbed out of their own car in order to go to the assistance of another motorists who had crashed into the ditch along Federal Highway 141 twelve miles south of Sheboygan Saturday evening, Adolph Radey and C.J. Stieber sustain ed injuries which will keep them confined to St. Nicholas hospital for an indefinite period.

Badly Hurt

Radey, whose home is at 1335 Herman court, is suffering with a fractured collar bone, fractured shoulder blade, bruised hip, gashes on his head, and many body bruises. Stieber, who formerly resided on Route 3, Manitowoc, and who plans to make his home in Milwaukee, is suffering with severe g ashes on his head, body bruises, a badly injured left eye, bruised hip, and possibly with internal injuries. He was unconscious when brought to t he hospital shortly after the accident.

The irony of fate played the villain in this accident. Mr. Stieber holds a reputation of being a careful driver and up to the present time had been in an auto accident. He was returning from Milwaukee with Ado ph Radey in a Ford roadster, and both were expecting to reach Sheboygan in time for the evening meal when they noticed two wrecked cars, one on the east side of the highway and the other on the west side and approximately 100 feet north of the first car.

Several other cars had been stopped along the highway so that the occupants could learn what damage had resulted from this accident. According to information given to Sheriff Paul Schmidt and Under-Sheriff Theodore Dickrell, the first accident resulted from a crash between a Cole touring car driven by Karl Strassburger, Sheboygan, and an Overland sedan driven by Gerhardt Janssen, a carpenter from Beaver Dam. Janssen's machine had stalled on the highway, according to the officers.

Struck By Auto

When Stieber and Radey came along, they drove a short distance beyond t he scene of the accident, climbed out of their car and started to walk over to the Cole touring car which had overturned. Just as they stepped on to the pavement, they were struck by a Kissel sedan driven by R.D. Rowland s, the Racine man. Rowlands, who was bound for Sheboygan, had turned to t he west side of the highway in order to pass a car parked on the east side . (continued on page 7)

The car which was parked on the highway prevented Sietber(sic) and Radey from seeing the Kissel car coming toward them and prevented Mr. Rowlands from seeing the two until he was almost upon them and could not avoid crashing into them. The name of the person who parked his car on the highway is unknown to the officers.

Mr. Rowlands had swung his car to one side in an attempt to avoid hitting the two men and in doing so the right side of his car struck the man. He stopped and assisted in bringing the injured men to the hospital.

Visited Here

In the car with Mr. Rowlands were Mr. and Mrs. H.A. Piper, Lake? Drive, Racine. They had planned to visit in Sheboygan over the weekend. M r. Rowlands visited Radey and Stieber at the hospital Sunday.

County traffic officers said today that Jansesen had considerable trouble with his car Saturday evening. The officers said Janssen's car stall ed for a second time and that they told him to get off the highway as quickly as possible.

Although the Cole car driven by Mr. Strassburger was badly damaged on one side, the driver escaped injury.

Adolph Radey appeared in municipal court this morning with a bandage over one badly bruised eye. Edward Otten, a six-footer, was fined $10 and costs, of $16.13, for having been responsible for the disfiguration.
According to Radey, Otten dumped off his bicycle Sunday afternoon and after a little preliminary ceremony, during which he said Otten accused him of having used abusive language, the latter landed several blows, one of which struck over the eye. Otten did not deny having struck the blow, but tried to show that he was provoked into making the assault. Municipal Judge Meyer defined the law in such manner before imposing the fine.

The information we have about Harvey is a bit sketchy. On 05 Mar. 2001 Elaine Jonas Chaloupka made this statement about her Uncle Harvey: "Harvey Jones was an Air Force Col. he died when he was around 50. ( I think) He died in Texas from heart trouble. He had a wife named Dorothy and a son Byron, who also died at the age of 50. Aunt Dot is still alive I think. She was asked if she ever met Harvey: "Yes I met them they were very nice and talked with a southern accent. only saw them twice in my life. Aunt Dot is an American Indian." She was asked if Harvey was older than Frederick: "He was older than Grandpa. I think the oldest or second oldest. Grandpa was the youngest boy."

On notes written from speaking with Marie Jonas wife of Frederick Jonas: She stated: "Harvey entered the service when he was 17."

Tuma Drowns in Harpt Lake

Larrabee - Harpt Lake, a 27 acre body of water located northwest of this community, claimed its second life in two weeks Sunday.

Latest victim was identified by county authorities as Wayne Tuma, 25, formerly of rural Two Rivers, but more recently a resident of Rockford, Ill.

Dr. Theodore Teitgen, county coroner, said Tuma and his recent bride, Patricia, 19, were in the water together when he apparently stumbled over backwards and sank below the surface. She went for help but the body was in t he water for about 10 minutes before it was received, Doctor Teitgen said.

Dead on Arrival

The corner (sic) reported that Tuma drowned in water that reached just above his waist. The accident occurred at about 5:50 p.m.

Tuma was dead on arrival at Two Rivers Municipal Hospital. Pat Finnel of the Larrabee area tried unsuccessfully to revive the victim with mouth to mouth resuscitation from the lake all the way to the hospital.

Tuma's mother and wife were taken to the hospital in a state of shock. The mother was released later Sunday but his wife was hospitalized overnight.

Tuma and his wife had come to this area to visit his parents and relatives over the weekend.

Cautions Swimmers

Doctor Teitgen cautioned swimmers to avoid going into the cold lake water after drinking beer. It was reported that Tuma had been drinking prior to the accident.

Beer is available at the lake at a concession stand owned by the Larrabee Sportsmen's Club and operated by Ted Schoenke of Manitowoc.

The coroner asked the sheriff's department to investigate the possibility that underage youths were drinking beer in the swimming area located on the east side of the lake.

Lyle L. Kluck, 19, Two Rivers, drowned in the same lake June 9. He reportedly went under after suffering a cramp while swimming with a female companion near a raft in the swimming area.

Funeral Services

Funeral services for Tuma will be 9:30 a.m. Wednesday at Lambert Funeral Home, Mishicot, and at 10 a.m. at Holy Cross Catholic Church, Mishicot. The Rev. Anthony Betley officiating. Burial will be in the parish cemetery .

The deceased was born Dec. 28, 1942, in the town of Gibson, son of Doolan and Clara Schwoerer Tuma. He attended Larrabee District No. 1 Graded school and was graduated from Mishicot Community High School in 1960. He served in the U.S. Army and was married to Patricia Moate April 30, 196 8.
