Injured by Auto, Woman, 72, Dies
Mrs. Clara Shimek City's Third Fatality
MANITOWOC-Mrs. Clara Shimek, 72, (photo) of 1019A Franklin St.,
struck by a car while crossing the intersection at S. Eighth and
Hancock Streets during the rain storm Monday noon, died late
Tuesday afternoon at the Holy Family Hospital.
Mrs. Shimek, who sustained a fractured skull, broken pelvis and
broken leg, when hit by a car driven by Newton T. Jones of 409
Cleveland Av., died without regaining consciousness, Dr. Theodore
Teitgen, county coroner, said Wednesday. He added an inquest would
be held next week.
Funeral Friday
Jones told traffic officers he was driving north on Eighth Street
when Mrs. Shimek, holding an umbrella, walked into the path of his
car. He is expected to be the principal witness at the inquest.
Death of Mrs. Shimek marked the third traffic fatality in Manitowoc
in 1953. In two previous years the city did not have a traffic
fatality, and received special citations from the National Safety
Council. County-wide, it was the eighth traffic fatality so far this
year.
Funeral services for Mrs. Shimek will be held at 2 p.m. Friday at
the First German Evangelical Lutheran Church. The Rev. L.H. Koeninger
will officiate. Burial will be in Evergreen Cemetery.
Survivors listed
She was born Clara Bischoff in 1881 in Manitowoc and was married here
to Louis Shimek. Her husband died in 1944.
Survivors are three daughters, Mrs. Adolph Haese, Mrs. Luther Day
and Miss Olive Shimek of Manitowoc; a nephew, Leo Brandt, and niece,
Elsa Brandt, of Manitowoc; and eight grandchildren.
Friends may call at the Urbanek and Schlei Funeral Home after 4 p.m.
Thursday. The casket will be moved to the church at 10 a.m. Friday.
