HERMAN W. LULLOFF MANITOWOC YOUTH FACES TERM FOR KILLING H.W. LULLOFF, KNOWN HERE Racing through Manitowoc streets at a speed estimated to be between 65 and 70 miles per hour, in an effort to elude a pursuing police squad car, an automobile driven by a Manitowoc youth, struck and killed Herman W.

Christel, one of his closest friends was a pallbearer at the funeral services on Tuesday morning, which were conducted from the Pfeffer Funeral home to the Holy Innocents Catholic church at Manitowoc, with the Rev.

Mr. Lulloff was hit by the speeding car and thrown into the air above the car and landed on the pavement where it was caught again by the lower front part of the car and dragged approximately 80 feet. Mr. Lulloff was struck on the left front fender and headlight as he was walking across the street. The body of Mr. Lulloff appeared lifeless when placed into the ambulance to be taken to the Holy Family hospital, and the coroner said he believed death was instantaneous, as the victim’s injuries were a broken neck, broken right shoulder, fractured left ankle and right knee, crushed chest and internal injuries. The deceased was born in St. Nazianz in 1884, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Lulloff. He operated a tin shop in St. Nazianz until 1912 when he moved to Greenleaf and opened a hardware store.

We will see her free and happy With her Father there above, In Heaven, where all is sunshine Nothing but sweet words of love.

We are praying that you'll be happy Sweetly dwelling above with Him. And that eternal blessings shall dwell with you Is our earnest prayer. Amen.

THOMAS PEPPARD THOMAS PEPPARD, EARLIEST SETTLER OF MEEME, IS DEAD Pioneer Resident of County Who Would Have Been 90 on February 1, Summoned by Death Yesterday Afternoon FATHER OF FIRST WHITE MAN BURIED IN TOWN OF MEEME Thomas Peppard, one of the earliest settlers in the town of Meeme, died at his home there yesterday afternoon. He was born in County Clare, Ireland, Feb. 1, 1827 and had he lived until the first of February, he would have been 90 years of age. When not more than a year of age, his parents came to this country, and settled in Ohio. In 1847 they came on to Wisconsin, coming to Chicago where the family took passage on a Goodrich boat as far as Sheboygan, and walked from Sheboygan to the point where they settled. His father, Thomas Peppard, was the first white man to be buried in the town of Meeme. Mr. Peppard cleared his farm and improved the property. In the early days of the shipbuilding industry in this city he became an expert caulker and was employed in the yards here considerable time. He also sailed the lakes for a time but spent most of his life on the farm and in this city. In the early days the pioneers walked when they made a visit to the city and Mr. Peppard made many trips to Manitowoc and Rapids, the later place at that time being the principal trading post of this section. Married in Chicago in 1847 to Mary Furan, who preceded him in death five years ago, Mr. Peppard was the father of 11 children, all of whom survive, being Mrs. A.J. Clark, John Peppard, this city; James, Dan and Mary Peppard and Mrs. James Shallue, of Meeme, Nellie of Shicago (sic); Mrs. Geo. Pollard of Malmo, Neb.; Thomas of Seattle and Mrs. Alice O'Connor of Oklahoma. The funeral of Mr. Peppard will be held Monday morning from St. Isador's church at Meeme.

CAROL M. SCHNEIDER (Photos of the young people and crash are included in original article.) (edited for living people) 3 Kiel High School Students Killed in 2-Car Crash. Two Others Injured At Intersection. Three Kiel High School students were killed late Friday in a two-car crash two miles north of Kiel at the intersection of Highway 32 on County Trunk X. Injured in the triple-fatality accident were another local high school student and the driver of the other car who was alone in his vehicle. Killed were John P. Carr, 17, ... Kiel, driver of one of the cars. Vickey Kay Freis, 15 daughter of ... . Carol Marie Schneider, 15, ... All the victims were occupants of the auto driven by the Carr youth. Another passenger in that car, ..., a cousin of Vickey, also of Kiel, is at St. Nicholas Hospital. He sustained an arm fracture, concussion and is in shock, but his condition is not considered critical. The driver of the other car, ..., about 25, of R. 2, New Holstein, also is at St. Nicholas Hospital. He sustained lacerations, concussion and a leg injury. His injuries were not believed to be serious. Manitowoc County authorities said they were able to obtain only sketchy information concerning the crash as they had not been able to question either of the survivors. They said that both cars, a 1956 four-door sedan, driven by the Carr youth, and a 1965 two-door, driven by ..., were demolished. Both landed in the southwest corner of the intersection. Preliminary investigation indicated that the Carr vehicle was traveling south on Highway 32 and ... west on County Trunk X. Chief Henry Pleuss and Sgt. Vernon Klimet of the Manitowoc County Traffic Police, were continuing their investigation of the accident. The first report of the accident, compiled by investigating officers, did not indicate where the four teenagers had been earlier in the evening, but the officers assumed they were returning to their homes when the accident occurred. Dr. Theodore Teitgen, Manitowoc County coroner, who ordered an inquest, said that the Freis girl was dead at the scene. The others two died shortly after arrival at St. Nicholas Hospital. The triple death accident brought the Manitowoc County total for 1965 to 11, compare to 19 on this date a year ago. Authorities recalled that the last triple death accident in the county occurred on Sept. 6, 1964, at Highways X and A, only a few miles east of Friday night's accident. Three elderly Elkhart Lake area residents were killed in that crash. The Freis girl, a sophomore at Kiel High School, was elected the Kiel Chamber of Commerce's Harvest Festival queen last month. Friends of the family said that Vickey had been under treatment for a heart ailment most of her life and was scheduled to undergo further heart surgery. But despite her chronic heart ailment, she had become active in school and church activities. The Carr youth was a senior at Kiel High School. His father is sales manager for the cheese division of Lake to Lake Cooperative and his grandfather is State Sen. Peter P. Carr of the 15th Senatorial District, Janesville. Miss Schneider, a sophomore at the high school in Kiel, was active in school athletics and in Catholic Youth Organization activities at Osman. She was one of twin sisters. The injured youth, ..., has been handicapped all his life with a spinal ailment and is able to walk only with the aid of crutches. His brother, ..., was married this morning at St. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Kiel. Both Jeffrey and Vickey had planned to attend the wedding. It was decided to hold the nuptial services as scheduled but only members of the immediate family attended.

JOSEPH SULLIVAN JOSEPH SULLIVAN, 17 YEAR OLD OSMAN BOY, BURNED WHEN HOME IS DESTROYED, DIES AT HOSPITAL Mistake of Youth who Used Gasoline to Start Fire, Causes Sad Tragedy. Mother and Brother Burned. Sister Freezes Feet in Going to Neighbor’s Home When Fire Breaks Out Joseph Sullivan, the Osman youth who was seriously burned in a fire which destroyed the family home, two miles north of Osman Saturday morning, died at the hospital here Sunday evening. The youth, who was 17, suffered agony for forty hours before death relieved him. Mrs. Sarah Sullivan, mother of the dead youth and a brother, John Sullivan, were badly burned in an attempt to rescue the lad whose body was a flaming torch following an explosion when the dead boy presumed to have used gasoline instead of kerosene in starting a fire. The explosion blew out a partition in the house and spread the flames and young Sullivan, with his clothes ignited rushed from the house into the open air, the wind fanning the flames and making impossible rescuing the boy. Mother and brother rushed to his aid and succeeded in smothering the flames with rugs and ? but not before the injured boy had been fatally burned. Miss ? Sullivan, a sister, had (illegible) when she walked to the home of neighbors to summon as ? in fighting the flames to save the burning home. Miss Sullivan having rushed from the home with only a pair of house slippers on her feet and but scantily clothed, the family having just been awakened. The dead youth was the first to awaken Saturday morning and after dressing had laid the fire and then secured a can of oil from a shed in the rear of the house. It is thought that the darkness of the early morning he secured a can of gasoline instead of kerosene and when the oil was poured into the fire an explosion occurred which ripped a partition of the room wholly out and the flames ignited the curtains and carpets. With his clothing afire and suffering from the pains of his burns young Sullivan dashed from the house into the air and when his brother reached him had been so seriously burned that he survived only a short time after being brought here. The home was completely destroyed with its contents, it having been impossible to save anything from the flames. The tragedy arouses widespread sympathy for the family which is well known in this city. Mrs. Sullivan and her son who were burned in attempting to save the dead boy, will survive. Funeral services for Joseph Sullivan will be held from the home of his brother, Cornelius Sullivan at Osman tomorrow morning.
