OTTO C KLEMME
Otto C. Klemme, 54, town of Schleswig farmer, was crushed to death between a tractor and a new basement he was excavating on his farm, late Tuesday afternoon. It was the tenth fatal accident in the county this year. Mr. Klemme was rushed to the St. Nicholas hospital, Sheboygan, where he died at 6:30 o'clock last night. Dr. Theodore Teitgen, coroner, was not notified of the accident until this noon, but announced there will be no inquest.
The farmer was using a tractor to excavate a basement for a building he planned to erect on the farm. In some manner he was pinned between the steering wheel of the tractor and the side wall, sustaining a crushed chest.
Mr. Klemme was born in 1892 in Sheboygan Falls, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Klemme. In 1916 he married Miss Linda Boeger at Plymouth and they settled on their present farm in Schleswig.
Survivors are the wife; one daughter, Mariele, at home; four brothers, Carl, town of Herman, Theodore of Postville, Iowa, Gedo of Plymouth and Anton of Kenosha; three sisters, Mrs. Mathilda Blank and Mrs. Robert Gaffron of Plymouth and Mrs. Ida Schnuelle of Portland, Ore.
Funeral services will be held at St. Peter Evangelical and Reformed Church, Kiel, the Rev. E. L. Worthman officiating. Burial will be in the Kiel Cemetery.
