WALTER SCHINKE
(1874 - 1945)
Dies of Heart Attack Watching Gridiron Battle
Excitement of a hard gridiron struggle at Two Rivers Saturday afternoon proved too much for Walter Schinke, 71, of 2620 Monroe street, Two Rivers.
Mr. Schinke collapsed with a sudden heart attack as Two Rivers and Sturgeon Bay high school elevens battled before a crowd of several hundred fans. A physician, also a spectator at the game, moved him to his home, two blocks from the field, but he was dead on arrival there.
Mrs. Schinke said that her husband, a former foreman at the Aluminum Goods Mfg., Co., Plant No. 4, had left the house early Saturday afternoon to attend the football game. He was in good health, having had no previous heart ailments.
Funeral services will be held at 3 p.m. Tuesday at the Beduhn funeral home, Two Rivers, the Rev. E. J. Blenker of the Calvary Lutheran church officiating. Burial will be in Pioneers' Rest cemetery. The body may be viewed at the funeral home this evening until the time of services.
Mr. Schinke was born on a farm near DePere in 1874 and as a young man attended the Oshkosh State Teachers' college. He taught school for several years in DePere. He married Meta Lillwitz in Brillion in 1900 and in 1916 came to Two Rivers where he went to work at the Aluminum Goods company.
Four years ago he was awarded a gold watch in recognition of the completion of 25 years of service as an employe of the company.
Besides his wife, Mr. Schinke is survived by two sons, Maynard of Houston, Tex., who will arrive in Two Rivers in time for his father's funeral, and Carl of Two Rivers. One daughter, Mrs. Lauretta Lindquist of Milwaukee, also survives.

BADLY BURNED
Walter Schink was painfully and severely burned Tuesday in the melting room at Aluminum Goods Plant No. 4. He thrust an iron tool into the molten metal. The implement, which is used for skimming the sediment off the top, was too cold and this caused an explosion which threw molten metal over Schink's face, hands and chest. A physician was called and he was taken to his home where his condition is reportedly satisfactory and he will recover from the wounds.
