FRANK LIEBL CHARLES LIEBEL FALLS 40 FEET BUT ESCAPED WITH LIFE Boiler Works Employee is Found Unconscious, No One Having Witnessed the Accident Frank Liebel, an employee of the Boiler works, escaped with slight injuries in a fall that it was thought had killed him at plant of the company today. Liebel fell from the top of the big electrical crane in the shops of the Boiler Works, a distance of from 30 to forty feet and was picked up believed to be seriously injured. At the hospital it was found that no bones were broken and aside from bruises and the shock of the accident Liebel was unhurt. No one witnessed the accident which happened early this morning, the first known of it being when Liebel was found by fellow workmen on the ground at the side of the crane upon which he had been at work. The man was cared for and a physician summoned and later Liebel was removed to the hospital. Liebel, so far as can be determined, suffered no internal injuries and it is believed that the man will be able to be out in a few days. The crane from which Liebel fell is directed inside the shops of the plant on Quay Street and the injured man was at work making some adjustments, when it is presumed he lost his balance and fell to the ground. Fortunately, Liebel did not strike any of the numerous pipes or steel plates on the floor of the shop and this fact probably saved his life, though the fall was sufficient to kill had Liebel struck on his head or in such a manner as to injure his spine. Liebel is 38 years of age, married and resides with his wife and four children at 1508 S. Seventh Street.

HELMUTH A.

The latest victim was Helmut A. Ludwig of 630 N. Seventh St. He was dead on arrival at Memorial Hospital of severe head and chest injuries… County traffic police said Ludwig, driving alone, ran off the left side of Memorial Drive just southwest of the Lakeview Tavern and collided with a tree on the C. J. Niquette property which measured 10 to 12 inches in diameter. Extensive Damage The accident occurred in the rain shortly before 2 p.m. after Ludwig had passed three automobiles which reportedly were going at 25 miles an hour. Witnesses told police that the speed of the Ludwig car did not appear to be excessive and that there was no noticeable skidding to indicate the driver was out of control. The car traveled 8901/2 feet to the collision point after leaving the concrete roadway. Ludwig was thrown against the steering wheel and windshield. The 1955 model Ford two door sedan he was driving had extensive damage to the front end. The youth apparently was on the way to his home in Manitowoc from Two Rivers at the time. He had returned here Sunday night from an airplane trip to California with a friend. Doctor Theodore Teitgen, county coroner, indicated there would be no inquest. Both Manitowoc city and county police were summoned to the scene of the accident which occurred about 100 yards beyond the city limits… Manitowoc Herald Times, June 29, 1960 P. 1 ******** Funeral services for Helmut A.

To Those I Love and Those Who Love Me While I am gone release me, let me go. I have so many things to see and do. You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears. Be happy that we had so many beautiful years. I gave to you my love. You can only guess How much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown. But now it's time I traveled on alone. To grieve for me a while if grieve you must. Then let your grief be comforted by trust, It's only a while that we must part, To bless the memories within your heart. I won't be far away, for life goes on, So if you need me, call and I will come, Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near. And if you listen with your heart, You'll hear all my love around you soft and clear, And then when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and say...
