JOHN GROSSHUESCH
87-Year-Old Man Killed In Attempt to Stop Runaway Horses on Farm at Newton John Grosshuesch, 87, lifelong resident of the town of Newton, was fatally injured Monday afternoon in attempting to save the life of his 11-year-old granddaughter, who was being pulled across a field by a runaway team of three horses.
The accident took place on the farm of Mr. Grosshuesch’s son, William, eight miles south of Manitowoc.
The granddaughter, Doris Grosshuesch, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Grosshuesch, was on a binder when the horses suddenly became frightened and ran down the field.
The elder Mr. Grosshuesch, who was standing a short distance away, ran up and tried to stop the horses. In some way he was struck from the side, suffering head injuries which resulted in his death an hour later. The mishap occurred about 3:30 p.m.
Girl Jumps
The girl jumped off the binder a little later, about 20 feet short of a ditch. She was unhurt in the leap.
The injured man was taken to the home and a physician was called to attend him but he died within an hour. Mr. Grosshuesch used a cane to get around and had been sick
for three months last winter.
Funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon at First Reformed church at Newton with the Rev. K. J. Stuebbe officiating. Interment will be in the adjoining cemetery.
Mr. Grosshuesch was born in the town of Newton Feb. 24, 1855 and always resided on the homestead on which he was born. He farmed until 1909 when he sold the farm to
his son William, but he continued to make his home there since that date. He married Miss Sophie Neuhaus on May 31, 1878. She died 15 years ago.
Survivors are three daughters, Mrs. William Stuempges and Mrs. Albert Neuhaus of this city, and Anna Grosshuesch of Milwaukee; two sons, Albert of Scotland, South Dakota,
and William on the home farm one sister, Mrs. Cathryn Vriesen of Newton; twenty-eight grandchildren; and twenty-eight great-grandchildren.
The body may be viewed at the Pfeffer funeral home from this evening until Wednesday afternoon when it will be removed to the William Grosshuesch home. It may be viewed
at the home from 3 p.m. Wednesday to 11 a.m. Thursday when it will be removed to the First Reformed church in Newton to lie in state until the time of the funeral services at 2 p.m.
