GORDON GLOMSKI
No Inquest To Be Held About Newton Death
Funeral For Victim of Crossing Crash On Saturday
A conference of the Manitowoc county sheriff, district attorney
and coroner with a claim agent representing the Chicago and North
Western Railroad company resulted in a decision that an inquest
in the death of Gordon Glomski, Newton youth, who was almost
instantly killed when struck by a southbound train one mile north
of Cleveland Tuesday evening would be unnecessary, it was learned
this morning.
The body had been ordered held at the John Leschke Undertaking
parlors at Manitowoc pending the completion of arrangements for an
inquest today. The body bore sufficient evidence of the manner in
which the youth had met his death, it was decided, and no further
information could possibly be obtained through an inquest.
Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday from the Cashmir(sic)
Catholic Church, Newton, and burial will be made in the church cemetery.
The Rev. Father Sokol will officiate. The body was taken to Manitowoc
shortly after the fatal crash and was prepared for burial at the Leschke
undertaking establishment.
Mr. Glomski was born April 17, 1906, on a farm near Newton, and had
resided there during his entire life. He attended the White Trail
school and was well known throughout the community.
Survivors include his mother, three brothers, Jacob, Harry and
Erwin (sic)(#105687507), all at home, and two sisters. Miss Lucy at home and
Mrs. William Duebner, residing on a farm a short distance from
Newton, Manitowoc County.

COLLISION FATAL TO COUNTY YOUTH
CLEVELAND MAN RUN DOWN AND KILLED BY TRAIN
Inquest To Be Held In Case of Fatal Accident to Gordon Glomski County Man
BULLETIN
After investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of Gordon
Glomski this afternoon, previous indications that an inquest would be
held were reversed and county authorities decided that the death was
accidental and needed no further investigation by county authorities.
An inquest jury was to be selected early this afternoon to fix
responsibility for the collision between a C. & N. W. train and a
machine driven by Gordon Glomski, 22, Cleveland, in which the driver
of the machine was instantly killed and terribly mangled when he was
carried about a half mile from the scene of the accident. The tragedy
occurred two miles north of Cleveland where a county road intersects
the railroad line at about 6:30 o'clock last evening.
Immediately after the train was brought to a halt Glomski was placed
on board and the race for the Sheboygan hospital was started. The
fatally injured man died, however, before the train reached the city.
From there the remains were later taken to the Lescke mortuary here.
No One Saw Accident
Only meager details regarding the accident are available, no witnesses
being found up until this noon though county authorities are actively
probing. The accident occurred at a point where the road and tracks
are obstructed and apparently neither train crew nor Glomski were given
much opportunity to act before the crash came.
According to relatives, Glomski had left the farm home earlier in the
evening to drive to Cleveland to return to his home with his sister
who was employed there. Train and truck were proceeding south shortly
before the accident but after a sharp curve is met, the road swings
across the railroad tracks.
Truck Completely Wrecked
The Ford truck which Glomski was driving was a complete wreck and
Glomski was badly cut and mangled though no parts of his body were
severed.
The inquest jury was expected to meet sometime later today to view the
body but no definite time has been set for the inquest as it will be
necessary to have members of the train crew on hand to give their
testimony.
Was Unmarried
Glomski, who was 22 years of age on April 17, was not married and made
his home on the family farm near Cleveland. He was managing the farm
and had made his home there practically all of his life. In addition
to his mother, he is survived by three brothers, Jacob, Harry, and Ervin,
all at home, and two sisters, Mrs. William Duebner, residing on a rural
route out of Manitowoc and Lucy, at the family homestead.
Funeral services will be held Saturday morning at 10 o'clock from St.
Casimir's church at Cleveland and interment will be at the church
cemetery. Rev. Father Sukow will be in charge of the services.
