shortly before midnight.
Injured were Mrs. Henschel's husband, Herbert, 55;
Wilbert P. Adams, 36, of R. 1, Elkhart Lake, and
Wayne Breckheimer, 19, and Eugene Schwartz, 26, both of
R. 2, Kiel.
It was Manitowoc County's second traffic fatality of
the weekend.
Charles F. Gibbons, 23, of Grand Rapids, Mich., a 
University of Wisconsin graduate student in entomology,
was killed early Saturday on the Sandy Bay Rd., a mile
north of Two Rivers.
Raises Toll To 17
The two deaths raised Manitowoc County's 1960 traffic
toll to 17, seven more than were recorded during the
entire 12-month period of 1959.
The accident involving cars driven by Mr. Henschel and
Adams occurred at 11:27 p.m. Sunday at the intersection of
County Trunk Highways A and X, four miles south of St.
Nazianz.
The accident scene is about four miles north of the 
Sheboygan-Manitowoc county line.
Traffic police reported that Henschel's car, southbound
on A, was struck broadside when it turned left onto County
Trunk X into the path of Adams' northbound auto.
The two cars were hurled into a ditch at the northeast
corner of the intersection. Officers said both were "completely
demolished."
The injured were taken to St. Nicholas Hospital in ambulances
from Kiel and Manitowoc.
Mrs. Henschel died en route to the hospital. Dr. Reed M.
Simpson, Sheboygan County coroner, attributed her death to
a crushed skull.
Her husband, driver of the car, suffered abdominal bruises
and a back injury. Hospital attendants described his condition
today as "fair."
Also in fair condition were Breckheimer, with a fractured
right arm and scalp abrasions, and Schwartz, with a possible
fracture of the right hip and a lacerated right arm.
Adams was not hospitalized. He was treated at a physician's
office in Kiel for chest abrasions and a laceration of the 
upper lip.
Dr. Theodore Teitgen, Manitowoc County coroner, ordered an
inquest into the death. No date was set, pending the release
of the injured from the hospital.
Mrs. Henschel, the former Hildegarde Christel, was born 
May 17, 1911, at St. Nazianz, a daughter of Albert and
Philomena (Minnie) Kaltenbrun Christel.
She was married to Herbert Henschel at St. Gregory's
Catholic Church parsonage at St. Nazianz on April 25, 1931.

The couple moved from School Hill to their present farm
home, a mile northwest of Spring Valley, about 23 years ago.

Reformed Church at Spring Valley, was treasurer of the
Ladies' Aid Society, and was a member of the Good Neighbors
Homemaking Club.

At the advanced age of almost 75 years, Mrs. Katherine Buchmann Henschel 
passed away at the Plymouth hospital last Wednesday afternoon shortly

Rhine.  Justice Charles Heins performed the marriage ceremony.  After 
their marriage, the couple moved to a farm in Russell.  From Russell they 
moved to Marshfield, then returned to Russell, and subsequently moved to 
St. Anna and New Holstein.
In about 1897 the family came to Kiel where they were to spend their remaining 
days.  Mr. Henschel began a livery stable, which was conducted for fifteen 
years.  This place was located on Sixth  street, where the building, now out 
of use, still stands.  Later on Mr. Henschel purchased what is now the Kiel 
Bottling Works, which he conducted for many years, when he retired from active 
business.  It was on March 7, almost four years ago, that the couple celebrated 
their golden wedding anniversary.  Mr. Henschel preceded his wife in death 
April 10, 1928.  Since that time Mrs. Henschel had made her home with her 
daughter, Mrs. C. L. Davenport, of here.
Five children were born to the couple; Mrs. Frank Pasch of Milwaukee and Mrs. 
Davenport here; and Edward, John, and William, all of this city. Four brothers 
also survive—Adam Buchmann of Russell, John Buchmann of Milwaukee, Michael 
Buchmann of Juneau, and George Buchmann of Kiel.
The deceased had always taken an active interest in Church work and the social 
life of Kiel.  She was a member of the Frauenverein of the St. Peter Reformed 
church, and was a charter member of the Kiel Royal Neighbors Lodge No. 2502.
