"The Milton Junction Telephone", Milton Junction, Wisconsin, Thursday, Oct. 23, 1930, p 1.
Carbon monoxide fumes snuffed out the life of William Lipke, Sr., Milton, Sunday morning. He had gone to the garage to warm up the car and apparently the wind had blown the doors shut. From the position of the body it is believed he had tried to go to the door before collapsing.
When Mrs. Lipke returned from church shortly after 11:30 and did not find him in the house, she looked in the garage and found him. The pulmotor was sent up from Janesville but could not revive him.
William Lipke was born Sept. 15, 1858, in Pommerania, Germany. He was raised and educated there, but at the age of 24 he came to the United States and settled at Edgerton, Wis.
In 1882 he was united in marriage to Miss Bertha Schoenfeldt. They lived on a farm in the town of Center about three years before moving to the town of Milton where they occupied several farms during a quarter of a century. About fifteen years ago they retired from active work and moved to the village of Milton. Mr. and Mrs. Lipke were the parents of nine children, all of whom survive, but Mrs. Lipke died about three years ago.
On September 2, 1930, Mr. Lipke was married to Mrs. Bertha Klug of Milton.
Mr. Lipke's children are: Herman, William and Herbert of Milton, Charles of Los Angeles, Calif., Mrs. Martin Klug of Whitewater, Mrs. Frank Mapes and Mrs. Ed Goldschmidt of Janesville, Mrs. Ed Tobias of Chicago and Miss Bertha Lipke of Milton.
Besides his widow and children, Mr. Lipke is survived by one brother and five sisters - August of Milton, Mrs. August Wachlin of Janesville, Mrs. Carl Albright and Mrs. William Wachlin of Edgerton and Mrs. Frank Albright and Mrs. Fred Schultz of Milton Junction - also twelve grandchildren.
Funeral services were held Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. in St. John's Lutheran church, Milton, Rev. Herbert C. Schumacher officiating. Burial was in Milton cemetery.
