The elderly man, who had served as Stettin's assessor for 20 years, had been working on his land when the tractor backed over the embankment of an old river bottom and tipped. He was caught beneath it. There was some evidence the tractor might have gone out of control, as it tore through fencing to reach the embankment.

A daughter, Miss Gertrude Golisch, said she went in search of her father when she was unable to see the tractor on the field. She found her father pinned under the heavy tractor about 4:00.

She ran to the farm of Walter Erdman nearby and he used his tractor to right the Golisch tractor.

Golisch was pronounced dead on arrival at St. Mary's hospital in a city ambulance. It is believed he was pinned under the tractor about half an hour.

The Golisch farm, on which the victim had lived for nearly 40 years, is just off Highway 29, about seven miles west of Wausau.
