Scaffolding Fall Kills Carpenter
Skull Fracture Fatal To Herman Wicke
A six foot fall from the scaffolding on which he was engaged in constructing a canopy over a doorway at Pekel's Colonial Inn, 1001 South 8th street, Thursday afternoon proved fatal a few hours later to Herman Wicke, 69,
carpenter contractor here for 37 years.
Mr. Wicke fell backwards when a brace gave way about 4:15 p.m. and his head struck the corner of a step. He was taken to a doctor's office by Louis Kieselhorst and Charles Kirchen who were working with him and then was taken to his home at 1128 South 6th street. He then lapsed into unconsiousness from which he never emerged and died at
8 p.m. Death was attributed to a skull fracture.
Funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock from the Wattawa, Urbanek and Schlei funeral home and at 3 o'clock from the First German Evangelical Lutheran church with the Rev. L.A. Koeninger officiating. Interment will be made in Evergreen cemetery.
