PAUL LINDENAU
TWO RIVERS MAN MEETS DEATH IN SEWER CAVE-IN
Children Find the Body Of Man Buried In Trench
TWO RIVERS, May 4-
Paul Lindenau, local contractor met death yesterday in a cave-in of
a sewer ditch which he was excavating under a sidewalk in the north
section of the city, on the Mishicot road. Mr. Lindenau's body was
discovered some time after the accident and physicians said that the
man had probably been dead three hours before the body was taken from
the sewer trench.
Children returning from school late yesterday afternoon discovered
the tragedy when they noticed the feet of a man protruding from the
trench, the body being covered by dirt which had caved in on him.
Louis Hartung who was notified by the children of their ghastly find,
summoned assistance and removed the body and physicians were called
but the man was dead.
Working On Last Pipe
Investigation showed that Lindenau was making the connection for the
last pipe when he met his death. He had excavated a tunnel under the
cement walk and was engaged in work of fitting the pipe alone when the
wall of the trench gave way and imprisoned him under the cave-in.
Mr. Lindenau when he secured the contract for the work said that he
did not feel that he should attempt it alone and would secure a helper
but he had failed to do so and his failure to have assistance was
responsible for his death as had he been accompanied by a helper, at
the time of the cave-in it might have been possible to rescue him.
Was Unmarried Man
Mr. Lindnau was about 36 years of age and unmarried. He had made his
home at Two Rivers most of his life and formerly operated a jitney
service between Two Rivers and Manitowoc. He is survived by two sisters,
Mrs. Edward Albright, Two Rivers and Mrs. Walter Grade of Watertown.
Funeral arrangements have not been ocmpleted (sic).
