Joseph Carbon Jr., 29, Dies Following Crash
MANITOWOC-An inquest was ordered Monday into a Highway 141 traffic accident Saturday night which took the life of Joseph Carbon Jr., 29, (photo) of Branch.
Carbon died of a compound skull fracture at 5:20 a.m. Sunday in the Holy Family Hospital. It was the 14th traffic death in Manitowoc County this year.
He was fatally injured at 9:50 p.m. Saturday when his car sideswiped with a truck driven by Peter J. Steinberg, 25, of 1534 S. 37th St., Manitowoc. Also injured in the cars was Carbon's passenger, Mrs. Katherine Skarvan, 28, of 2204 S. 10th St. She was treated at the Holy Family Hospital for minor facial cuts and brusies and released.
Inquest Date Not Set
Dr. Theodore Teitgen, Manitowoc County coroner, said Monday he would hold an inquest into the fatal accident, but had not yet set a date. According to county traffic police, Carbon and Mrs. Skarvan were going to Newton for a visit. They were driving south during a heavy rain when Carbon's car collided with the north-bound truck about a half-mile south of the Y.
Conflicting stories of the accident were given to police, who said Steinberg claimed Carbon's auto was in the wrong lane, but that Mrs. Skarvan said the truck driver was at fault.
Steinberg, who police said had been drinking, was held in the county jail Saturday night and released Sunday morning on orders of Asst. Dist. Atty. Richard Garrow, according to Sheriff Lester Nichols. Funeral Services Wednesday will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday at the First Reformed Church, Manitowoc. The Rev. A.C. Fischer will officiate and burial will be in Evergreen Cemetery, Branch.
He was born in Branch in 1924, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Carbon Jr. He attended Branch schools, and was graduated from Lincoln High School, Manitowoc, in 1941. He assisted his father in the latter's blacksmith shop at Branch and enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1943, serving until 1946. He was wounded in action aboard a cruiser at Iwo Jima, in the south Pacific and received the Purple Heart and a special citation from the Navy. He attained the rank of seaman first class.
Was Union Secretary
Recently Carbon was employed as a fabricator at the Manitowoc Equipment Works and was secretary of the AFL union at the plant.
Survivors are his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Carbon of Branch; two sisters, Mrs. Russell Rank of Kewaunee and Mrs. Donald Krejcarek of Monterey, Calif.
He was also a member of the Oas Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, whose members will accord him military rites at the graveside Wednesday.
Friends may call at the Urbanek and Schlei Funeral Home, Manitowoc, after Tuesday noon. The casket will be moved to the church at 10 a.m. Wednesday.
