YOUTH THROWN OFF TRUCK, DIES
Theodore Lewis Wintering Was Sole Support of Two Younger Sisters
Thrown to the pavement on his head, Theodore Lewis Wintering was fatally injured in East Wenatchee yesterday afternoon when the light truck in which he was riding swerved to pass another automobile.
The 23 years old rancher, who has been the sole support of two younger sisters since their mother died three years ago, was returning home from swimming in the Columbia river when the accident happened. His cousin, Paul Weisner, driving the truck, swung out to pass the other car just as Wintering, perched on the sideboard of the truck, lifted his foot to tie his shoe. When the truck swang back, Wintering, overbalanced, was somersaulted to the pavement, where he landed on his head. The other member of the swimming party, Harold Strugle, shouted to Weisner, who stopped.
Wintering was picked up and rushed to the hospital, where he died at 5 o'clock, two hours later without having ever regained consciousness.
An autopsy this morning by County Corner A. G. Young showed that the skull has been fractured from over the right eye to the base of the brain in the back, and that the brain had been badly injured from the concussion.
The accident happened within 100 yards of the Wintering home.
Wintering had lived in East Wenatchee nine years, having come from Brooklyn, Indiana, where he was born.
Besides the two sisters, Viola and Alena, who lived with him on the ranch here, he leaves one sister, Rosella, of Oldenburg, Ind., a brother, Herman, Brawley, Cal., his father, Frank Wintering of Los Angeles; seven uncles, P. J. Gutzwiler, Welm Weisner, Urban, Frank, Paul, John and Jack Mangold, all of Wenatchee; two aunts, Mrs. Anna Gutzwiler and Mrs/ Mary Weisner, also of Wenatchee, and eight cousins, Isma, Hortense, and Leon Gutzwiler, Helen, Weim, Edward, Richard and Paul Weisner, who also live here.
Wintering was a member of St. Joseph's Catholic church and will be buried beside his mother, in the Wenatchee cemetery. The body is at Jones & Jones mortuary, pending arrangements. (Obit: The Wenatchee Daily World, Wenatchee, WA, June 16, 1930)
