CESLAW KAZMIERSKI

TISCH MILLS YOUTH FATALLY BURNED SUNDAY
Chester Kazmeriske, 13, Dies of Burns Suffered on Father's Farm Late Yesterday His body seared and burned until it resembled the bark of a tree, Chester Kazmeriske, 13 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Kazmeriske town of Mishicot residents was so badly burned while he was playing about burning stumps on his father's farm, near Tisch Mills on Sunday afternoon that he died two hours after being found. The boy never regained consciousness. No one was with the Kazmeriske lad when the fatal accident occurred and only from the surroundings where the tragedy happened can the story of just what took place be reconstructed. The father had been engaged in dynamiting the burning out stumps on a bad section of the farm, which was known as the William Ries farm. His son had been with him during the afternoon. Later in the day the father returned to the barn to do the evening chores.
Son Stays at Scene
However, the son lingered in the vicinity of the burning stumps. When at five o'clock in the growing dusk, his son failed to return to the barnyard Herman Kazmeriske led a search for him. Groans of the boy, led the searchers to a spot where they found him on the ground with his clothing all burned from his body. He was removed to the farm home and Dr. C.J. Skwor of Mishicot summoned. When the latter arrived he saw that the boy's condition was so critical that it would be useless to try and remove him to a hospital.
Without regaining consciousness young Kazmeriske passed away at 7:30 Sunday night. From the position of the body when found by the searchers it is believed that sparks from the burning stumps set fire to the boy and his efforts to put out the flames failing, he made a desperate effort to run to the farm home for help. But he was overcome and fell in the field where his unconscious form was found by his father some time later.
Leaves Parents, 2 Brothers and Sister.
The remains were removed to an undertaking parlor in Tisch Mills and burial will take place from the home. Besides his parents the deceased is survived by one sister and two brothers.
