WALTER VOLAND Walter Voland Dies From Charge of Electricity Thursday Lineman for Utility Found on Pole Early Friday Morning Death came to Walter Voland, Kiel utility lineman, some time Thursday night or Friday morning, when 2,300 volts of electricity passed through his body. He was found on a pole about two miles northeast of Kiel. He had gone out to see about some repair work on the line. It was reported that Mr. Voland had taken his auto downtown to get gasoline Thursday evening as a trip to Milwaukee was planned for Friday. Someone told him they saw sparks flying from a pole in the vicinity of the Roitt and Schnell farms located east of the Lodes cheese factory. He called Mrs. Voland and told her he was going to check up on the report. Kiel linemen take turns answering calls of this type and last week was Mr. Voland's week on duty said Supt. Ray Klauck. Klauck also said that usually one man made such trips for inspection purposes, then calling for help if necessary. Authorities surmise that Voland did not see any sparks at the time he went along the road. They assume that he decided to climb the junction pole, which has wires leading in several directions, all protected by "cut-outs" which contain fuses. Sometimes these work loose and cause arching. What happened after he was up the pole will probably never be known. Evidence shows that he must have grasped a wire with his left hand, as it was badly burned. The right hand had a touch of burn on it. Al Hoerth, who lives on a farm near the scene of the accident noticed the city truck on the road before midnight. When he noticed it still there after 1:00 a.m. he investigated and then called Supt Klauck, telling him that he had seen Mr. Voland slumped on the pole. Klauck called Officer Joseph Perl and Deputy Sheriff Hilton Baumann and his other lineman, Ralph Menne. They then went out to the scene of the accident. Officer Perl radioed for Sheriff Clarence Baryenbruch and Dr. Theodore Tietgen, county coroner, who conducted an investigation. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon from the Kiel Presbyterian church with the Rev. E. J. Nelson in charge. Mr. Voland was born in Kiel in 1896, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Voland. Survivors include his widow, the former Adeline Feld; two daughters, Mrs. Edward Mueller of Plymouth, and Mary Lou, at home; a son, Wallace of Fond du Lac; four sisters, Mrs. Anna Henschel, Mrs. William Schnur and Mrs. C. T. Schroeder of Kiel, and Mrs. George Schuler of Plymouth, and a grandson.
