WILHELM H.P. UTECH
(1883 - 1910)
FALLS 20 FEET, DEATH IS THE RESULT
Wm. Utech, Maribel, is Dead From Injuries In Accident
HURT AT SHIPYARDS, DIES SIX HOURS LATER.
Injured in an accident at the yards of the Manitowoc Dry Dock Company at 6:15 o'clock Wednesday night, while at work as an employe of the company, William Utech, a Maribel youth, 27 years of age, died five hours later at the Holy Family Hospital where he was removed for care. Utech's death was due to fracture of the skull which he sustained in falling from a platform upon which he was at work.
Utech was injured just a few minutes before he with the crew for the yards would have finished work for the day, the yards now working over time. Utech was at work on a scow and was engaged in reaming, operating a compressed air drill. He was standing upon the edge of the scow and the jar from the operation of the drill, which is very powerful, caused him to lose his balance and he fell backward from the scow, striking on his head with sufficient force to cause fracture of the skull. The distance of the fall was twenty feet and Utech was picked up unconscious and rushed to the hospital in the ambulance. Everything possible was done for the injured man but he failed to rally and at 1 o'clock this morning, passed away.
Utech came to the city from his home at Maribel six weeks ago and secured employment at the yards of the Manitowoc Dry Dock Co. as a laborer. He made his home with an aunt, Mrs. August Schroeder, South Fourteenth street, and the body was taken there after death and will later be removed to the home at Maribel for burial on Saturday, funeral services being held from the Lutheran church at Maribel Saturday afternoon.
Utech was a farmer's son and was well known in vicinity of his home and was an industrious and hardworking youth whose death is a terrible shock to family and friends. Besides his parents, Utech is survived by two brothers and two sisters at Maribel.
No blame attaches to anyone for the accident which was one of those unforeseen circumstances which only the exercise of great caution on part of the workmen can possibly avoid and which is entirely unexpected. The accident is the second serious mishap at the yards of the Dry Dock Co. this season and is deeply regretted by officers of the company and by employes who held Utech in esteem.
