Opferkuch, John (1934? - 6 FEB 1957)

 

John Opferkuch, about 23, of Hannibal (Taylor Co.), Wis., was accidentally killed about 5 p.m. yesterday afternoon when a log fell off a truck and fractured his skull.

 

Opferkuch was helping unload pulpwood on a railway siding near the Thorp newspaper office when the accident occurred.  He released a tie chain and four or five longs rolled off the truck, one of them striking him.  He lived only a few moments.

 

He is the son of Philip Opferkuch.  He was not married.  The body was taken to Gilman for funeral arrangements.

 

There will be no inquest.
