EMIL HEIDEMANN cemetery #44 NEPHEW WITH HIM ESCAPES SERIOUS HURTS Heidemann Never Regains His Consciousness After Highway Accident Saturday A basal skull fracture received shortly before 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon when he was thrown from his automobile following its colliding with a post on Rabenhorst's hill, one-fourth mile north of Manitowoc Rapids on Highway 42, resulted in the death of Emil J. Heidemann, 48, 1206 South Seventeenth street Sunday morning. Heidemann never regained consciousness after the accident in which he and his nephew, Charles Carle, 1313 Green street, figured. Carle received bruises and torn biceps on his left arm. Only meager details can be learned regarding the accident, no persons at the scene or early arrivals being able to report definitely what happened. Two Thrown From Car Heidemann and Carle were en route to their homes in this city after attending the funeral of Charles Buss, a cousin of Heidemann's. They had taken the north road and were proceeding south on 42, when, near the top of the winding hill, the Heidemann machine, a light touring car, skidded across the road, it is presumed, and crashed into several road markers and other signs before overturning. Frank Gappa and Theodore ???zmski, arriving at the scene shortly afterward, picked up the two unconscious men and rushed them to the hospital but nothing could be done for Heidemann. Gappa stated this morning that the men were lying in the road, about twenty-five feet north of where their car had come to a halt, the machine still being partly on the road. Carle was lying upon his face and Heidmann, bleeding profusely from the fractured skull and a deep fore head gash, was on his back. Carle left the hospital shortly after he was brought to the institution but is still under the care of a physician. Tells of Fleeing Machine While many stories weere circulated about the city yesterday and today, verification could not be secured and it is believed that the story of the machine skidding off the roadway is the correct version of the affair. Gappa said this morning that as he brought his machine to a halt, a machine approached from the south and failed to stop. According to Gappa this machine must have been at the scene of the accident before he arrived and lends some credence to the report that the machine may have been struck. Carle Knows No Details Charles Carle, the nephew and companion of Heidemann, today was unable to add any details to the version of the accident. He said he and Heidemann were talking as they were riding along and the next thing he knew, he felt a bump but could not state if that came from another car or when their machine crashed into a post at the side of the road. He was unconscious for about ten minutes following the crash. District Attorney Meyer stated today that all facts in the case had not been submitted to him and he was not prepared to state whether an inquest was to be held. Life-Long Resident Here. Funeral sevices for Mr. Heidemann will be held from the Wattawa chapel Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock with Rev. Menke officiating. Burial will take place at Evergreen. He was a life-long resident of Manitowoc, being born here on January 31, 1880. For a number of years he followed the moulder trade and was an employe of the Manitowoc Foundry company when he died. Fifteen years ago he married Mrs. Heidemann, nee Anna Kawalle, who with two daughters, Mrs. Orson Branton of Madison, Miss Ethel at home; one son, William, at home; two stepsons, LeRoy and Allan Clark, this city; two brothers, Fred of this city and August of Galvestin, Texas, and four sisters, Mrs. Ida Leverenz, Milwaukee, Mrs. John Brandle, Moniea, Wisconsin, Mrs. Joseph Lemberger, Antigo, and Mrs. William Carle, Manitowoc, survive him.
