TRACTOR TIPS KILLING FARMER, HIS DAUGHTER
Weekend traffic accidents in Manitowoc County killed three persons, including a father and his daughter. The latest fatalities brought the county's 1966 total to nine persons or three times as many as a year ago at this time. The county did not record its ninth road death last year until Oct 1. Edmund T. Welch, 47, of Rt. 2, Reedsville, and his 14 year old daughter, Rose Ann were killed around 1:30 pm Sunday in a tractor accident near the family farm. County traffic police said Welch was driving the tractor when it left a town road a half mile south of Grimms and rolled over in the ditch. Welch and his daughter died of crushing injuries to the chest and abdominal area. A son, Michael, 9, who was also riding on the tractor, received crushing injuries to both legs and the lower abdomen. He was reported in satisfactory condition Monday at Holy Family Hospital, Manitowoc.
Crossed Lanes. According to authorities, Welch had delivered a load of feed for livestock in a nearby field and was returning to the home farm when the accident occurred. The tractor was pulling a manure spreader but it broke away as the tractor overturned. Police said the tractor had been southbound and crossed into the left lane for some unknown reason. It continued into the left ditch and rolled down a steep embankment, pinning the three occupants. Two wreckers were required to lift the tractor so that the bodies could be freed. Michael Welch was reported to have been seriously hurt in another farm accident some months ago.
