Hoefer and Henry Gherken, Victims of Awful Accident ~ AUTOMOBILE MISSES A CULVERT ~ Henry Boege Had a Jaw Broken, Helberger Family of Ryan Had Narrow Escape ~ A.J. Hoefer and Henry Gherken, two prominent residents of New Vienna, were instantly killed about 9:30 o’clock Thursday night, when the automobile in which they were returning from a fishing trip near Guttenburg was upset. Hoefer’s skull was fractured and Mr. Gherkens’s neck was broken. Henry Boege, another member of the party had his jaw broken and received a number of severe bruises and cuts. Dr. Allen and Jack Raymond, who was driving the heavy car, escaped with only a few minor injuries. It appears the party left New Vienna early on Thursday morning to spend the day at Guttenberg. The accident happened as they were returning home, and when about five miles south of Luxemburg the driver of the car, swinging around a curve, missed the culvert and in an instant the car was in a ditch crushing out the lives of two of the party. Persons in the vicinity who saw the car last declared that it was traveling at a high rate of speed, which is undoubtedly the cause for the shocking accident. Mr. Hoefer was about sixty years of age, and was Justice of the Peace at New Vienna, and one of the elder residents of the town. Until a few years ago he conducted the hotel business at New Vienna. He had held a number of political offices in Dubuque County prior to being elected Justice of the Peace. He leaves a wife and four children, all residents of New Vienna. Mr. Gherken was nearly 57 years of age at the time of his death. He too, was one of the old residents of New Vienna, and was a highly respected citizen. He is survived by his wife and nine children, most of whom live in New Vienna. The funeral of Mr. Gherken was held on Monday morning at 9:30 o’clock and the funeral of Mr. Hoefer was held on Tuesday morning. Both funeral were held at St. Boniface Church, New Vienna, and the services being conducted by Father Rev. Pape. The automobile which belonged to T. J. Langmann, proprietor of the New Vienna garage, was considerably wrecked. Contributor: Cheryl Locher Moonen - [email protected]
