Sioux City Journal Saturday, Dec. 22, 1945 Sioux City, Iowa Victims of Asphyxiation Chimney Clogged Coroner Says LeMars, Ia.—Special: Five persons, representing three generations, are dead here from carbon monoxide poisoning caused by the clogged condition of the chimney in the residence where the five lived, according to S. J. Luken, coroner of Plymouth county, who conducted an investigation. Bodies of the victims were in a frozen condition when found, the coroner said, adding that all showed evidence of having attempted to get to fresh air when overtaken by death. The dead: Mr. and Mrs. Fred Harms, 85 and 76, respectively. Henry J. Siebels, 54, and Mrs. Catherine Siebels, 52, his wife who is a daughter of the elder couple. Miss Sylvia Siebels, 19, daughter of the Siebels. The tragedy was discovered about 9:30 a.m. Wednesday when Clyde Eastman, cashier of the First National bank, went to the Harms home to inquire the reason for the absence of Miss Siebels from her job at the bank. He had called the house and received no answer. Miss Siebels had been absent from her duties also on Tuesday. No Response to Knocks Mr. Eastman, receiving no response to repeated knocks, summoned Chief of Police Fay Terpinning. The two broke into the house and discovered the tragedy. The bodies indicated that all had made attempts to reach fresh air. Miss Siebels had reached the head of the stair and had fallen there. Mrs. Harms had arisen from her bed and had collapsed at the side of the bed. Her husband was in bed. The Siebels had thrown their bed clothing aside, indicating they had tried to rise, the investigation showed. Son in Navy Service The bodies, of Mr. and Mrs. Harms were taken to the Luken funeral home here and the bodies of the Siebels to the Mauer funeral home. Survivors, as far as can be determined, include Melvin Siebels, a son of the Siebels couple, who is in the navy in the Pacific area. He was expected home for the Christmas holidays, it was reported. He is the only direct survivor of the Siebel family. Surviving the Harms couple is one son John, who farms near LeMars, and two daughters, Mrs. John Brabander and Mrs. L. J. Powell, both living in California. The Harmses had lived in LeMars about 30 years since retiring from their farm. The Siebels also had retired from farming, but Mr. Siebels recently had engaged in trucking. Sioux City Journal Thursday, Dec. 20, 1945 Sioux City, Iowa
