Sidney Steltzer of Francis Creek Is Found Hanging From Barn Rafter
Missing since Saturday noon, the body of Sidney Steltzer, 32, rural mail carrier at Francis Creek, was found hanging from a rafter of his barn at 730 Saturday evening. After returning from his mail route on Saturday noon he had gone to his farm, the Louis Hassemer place, a mile north of Francis Creek and had told his wife that he was going to work on the farm.
Steltzer had climbed to the hay loft of the barn, fastened the rope about one end of the rafter and then adjusting the other end about his neck jumped off a beam. His feet were about eighteen inches from the floor. Sheriff Carstens was notified and with Dr. J. E. Meany proceeded to the farm, but as it was a plain case of suicide, no inquest was ordered.
Find No Motive
Mrs. Steltzer could ascribe no reason for her husband ending his life. About two years ago the deceased suffered a fall in the barn, striking on his head and it is believed that this may have affected his mind. The remains were taken to the Pfeffer funeral home and funeral services were held this morning from the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Steltzer, near Francis Creek, and at ten o’clock from the St. Ann’s Catholic church.
Mr. Steltzer was born in Mishicot July 24, 1901, and had always made his home in the county. He was married in 1926 to Anna Hassemer of Francis Creek who survives him with two small children, Robert, 4, and Betty Ann, a few months old babe. His parents and one brother, Wilbert also survive.
