ALBERT MUNDT
TWO ACCIDENTS IN ONE DAY, THEN DEATH TO MUNDT
Apparently Uninjured in Fall, Youth Dies After Motorcycle Spill
Two accidents within a twelve hour period resulted in the death of Albert Mundt,
South Tenth street man at the Holy Family hospital at 2 o’clock Sunday morning
after he had been a patient at the institution for exactly twenty-four hours.
Death is believed to have been due to a ruptured liver or injury to the wall of
the heart. The condition of the patient was too serious to permit the taking of
Xray pictures at any time Saturday and while he showed some improvement early
Saturday evening a turn for the worse came at 1 o’clock and he sank steadily
until death occurred at 2 o’clock.
Mundt, who has been employed by the Canning company for the last six years, fell
from one of the viners at the Hiller farm on the river road Friday afternoon. He
fell a distance of sixteen feet and struck on his back. Apparently uninjured at
the moment he later in the day complained of pains in his back and chest and at
the home of his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John Broeker, with whom he stayed,
mentioned the accident of the afternoon and said that he feared he had been more
seriously hurt than he had at first thought. He had accepted an invitation to a
birthday anniversary party at the Heller farm near Valders and with other young
men started for Valders shortly after supper.
Motorcycle Ditched.
It was on the return from the party, which had included a barn dance, that the
second accident occurred. A point a short distance west of Silver Lake, Mundt
who had Lester Orlopp and Roy Karkow with him in the side car of his motorcycle,
turned around to see how far behind him the other motorcycle was. Just exactly
what occurred no one knows but it has been established that the front wheel of
the motorcycle struck a large stone in the loose gravel, the wheel of the sidecar
probably also hit the same stone when the bike was jerked around and went into
the ditch. Mundt and his passengers were hurled from the machine and Orlopp and
Karkow, who were unhurt, found Mundt unconscious, lying near a culvert at the
scene of the accident. The motorcycle which was following Mundt arrived on the
scene immediately after the accident, having been only a half mile behind, and
Mundt was lifted into the sidecar to rush him to the hospital here. He regained
consciousness enroute and complained of chest and back pains again. The arrival
at the hospital was made at 2 o’clock Saturday morning.
Condition Found Serious.
At the hospital physicians who were hurriedly summoned, found Mundt to be in a bad
way. His pulse was high and he was running a temperature. His condition continued
grave all day Saturday but early Saturday evening his pulse had been reduced and
he had only a slight temperature. He was apparently resting easily. At 1 o’clock
there was an alarming turn for the worse and Mundt never rallied, death occurring
at 2 o’clock Sunday morning.
Mundt’s sister, Miss Elsie Mundt is a nurse at the hospital and while he mentioned
his fall of the afternoon to her he failed to make a report to the doctor of the
afternoon accident. He was not certain whether he had struck the culvert or not
and had no explanation of the accident to his motorcycle. He said he had been t
raveling along at about twenty-five miles an hour and had shut off the power to look
around for the other motorcycle which was following him when he struck loose gravel
and the accident happened.
Former Mishicot Boy.
Albert Mundt was born at Mishicot May 4, 1893 and was twenty-five years old. The
family removed to this city shortly after his birth and he has always since made
his home here. His mother died a number of years ago. He is survived by his father
and three sisters, the Misses Elsie and Irene of this city and Mrs. Martin Degues
of Sheboygan.
The funeral will be held from the Broeker home tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock, the
Rev. Karl Machmiller officiating. Members of the motorcycle club of which Mundt was
a member, will act as the pall bearers and the funeral cortege will be led by a group
of riders. Burial will be at Evergreen cemetery.
