EDNA KUESTER   cemetery #82

GIRL INSTANTLY KILLED
Investigation Conducted Wednesday Forenoon by Officials
A deplorable accident occurred on Tuesday afternoon about 4:00, when Edna 
the six year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chr. Kuester, was struck by one 
of the motor trucks hauling gravel for the Kiel-New Holstein road at the 
corner of Fremont and Seventh street. The driver was just turning the 
corner to proceed north, when the little girl who is a pupil of the first 
grade and was on her way home from school, with a companion Tillie Blum, 
and crossing the street, stopped in the path of the oncoming (?) machine 
and was struck, throwing her to the ground.  The driver of the truck did 
not notice the accident it is said, and proceeded to the site. John J. 
Klauck, who was nearby, saw the body of the child lie in the street and 
picked it up. The girl was unconscious and died on the way to the doctor’s 
office, from where the body was taken to the Meiselwitz Undertaking rooms.
No marks were found on the body except a slight bruise on the left hip, it
is thought that death was principally due to the great shock caused by the
(?) the little girl.
The district attorney and the sheriff of Manitowoc were notified at once
and arrived in Kiel on Wednesday to investigate the accident. A (?) of
witnesses were examined and (?) nobody saw the accident and the driver of
the truck who also was not aware of it, could not be ascertained nobody was 
blamed.
Besides her parents, she leaves eight sisters and brothers, the youngest
of them is a baby boy one week old.
The funeral of the little girl who had suddenly lost her young life, will
take place on Friday afternoon from the home in the town of New Holstein.
Interment will be in the Kiel cemetery, Rev. W. Rech officiating.
The Kuester family has been the victim of considerable misfortune. Mr.
Kuester having suffered several accidents in the past few years which laid
him up for a long time. The death of little Edna is another hard blow for
the family, who have the sympathy of relatives and friends in their
sorrowful affliction. - 1921

DEATH DUE TO SHOCK
Funeral services were held at New Holstein today for little Edna Kuester
six year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kuester who met death in
a peculiar accident the child being killed by shock when she ran into the
rear wheel of an automobile truck near Kiel while returning home from
school Tuesday afternoon. The only mark on the body was an abrasion on the 
hip which physicians say would not have been serious and it is believed
that the little girl was killed by shock of the accident.
District Atty. Brady, who with Sheriff Schuette conducted an investigation
at Kiel, decided that no inquest was necessary. The driver of the truck
is unknown and it is believed that he did not know of the accident.
Testimony of a girl companion of the dead child and of John Klauck who
picked up the child to take her to the offices of a physician, was taken.
The child died while on the way to the physician's office. From the facts
as adduced the driver of the truck was not to blame for the fatality, the
child was rushing into the street and striking the rear of the truck.
The child is survived by her parents and eight brothers and sisters.
Mr. and Mrs. James Jenson, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Braeger, Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Voelker, and Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand Voelker of this city left

him out of it. Yesterday he was last seen shortly after 4 p.m. by Mrs. Kugel 
who noticed him entering the barn. When he did not appear for supper his 
daughter went to call him and found his lifeless body.

it down and tried to revive Kugel but without success. Dr. Gerald Rau, Two 
Rivers, county coroner, was summoned, pronounced it suicide and decided that 
there would be no inquest.

early age. They located on the present farm, which the deceased occupied 
since. His widow and two unmarried daughters, Mary and Anna, survive.
The remains were taken to the Husar undertaking parlors in Kellnersville.

was made late last fall and on that occasion he was given a "lift" by a 
motorist, admitting that the long walk was a bit too strenuous. However,

unable to make the trip afoot into town, it would be time for him to 
pass.

was able to read his daily paper and kept in touch with world events.

Hibbing, Minn., survives, passing away nearly sixty-five years ago. 
About sixty-two years ago Mr. Kugler was married a second time to Amelia 
Schultz this county who preceded him death six years after the couple had

There are twenty grandchildren, ten great grandchildren and one great

Kuhnle, John 
Manitowoc Tribune
February 20, 1874, Vol. 20 No. 52, Page 4 Column 2 
The funeral of John Kuhnle, yesterday afternoon, was the most largely attended, 
that has taken place in this city.  The firemen and sons of Hermann came out in 
full force; fifty carriages of all kinds, followed in procession.  The music on 
going out, was very solemn and impressive, but it was painful to hear it on its 
return, playing the most lively tunes.  There may be some excuse for the practice, 
but we think it abominable.
