ANNA SHIMEK (d. 1929)
AUTO INJURIES FATAL TO MRS. STEPHEN SHIMEK
Dies Saturday Afternoon at Hospital After Being Patient For The Past Two Weeks
Injuries which she received when struck down by an automobile on the night of
September 15, Saturday afternoon at 5:30 o’clock caused the death of Mrs.
Stephen Shimek, 74, at the Holy Family hospital. Mrs. Shimek, recovering from
a long siege of illness, was struck down as she was crossing North Eighteenth
street by a car driven by Thomas Felber, 736 S. Twenty-sixth street, and
sustained a broken pelvis, severe bruises and other injuries.
Little hope was held out for her recovery after an examination by physicians
revealed the nature and extent of her injuries. She gradually became weaker
during the past two weeks and death was not unexpected.
County Resident 58 Years
Born in Bohemia on July 3, 1855, Mrs. Shimek came to the States and directly to
the town of Manitowoc Rapids in 1871. On December 7, 1879, Mrs. Shimek, nee Anna
Benishek, married Stephen Shimek and at the time of her accident plans were being
discussed for the observance of the 50th anniversary of their marriage.
Seven children, all of them living, were born to the couple who moved to Manitowoc
in 1917, taking up their residence at 1345 Michigan avenue. In addition to her
husband she is survived by five daughters, Mrs. Alois Jarosh, Mrs. Joseph Jarosh,
the Misses Elsie C. and Clara M. Shimek, all of Manitowoc, and Mrs. Charles
Tessmer Jr. of Two Rivers; two sons, Emil Shimek, Manitowoc, and Joseph Shimek,
