HERMAN W. LULLOFF

MANITOWOC YOUTH FACES TERM FOR KILLING H.W. LULLOFF, KNOWN HERE
Racing through Manitowoc streets at a speed estimated to be between 65 and 70 miles per hour, in an effort to elude a pursuing police squad car, an automobile driven by a Manitowoc youth, struck and killed Herman W. Lulloff, aged 64, retired Greenleaf hardware dealer, and former St. Nazianz native, shortly before 1 a.m. Saturday.
Mr. Lulloff was well-known in Kiel, having many relatives and friends here. I.H. Christel, one of his closest friends was a pallbearer at the funeral services on Tuesday morning, which were conducted from the Pfeffer Funeral home to the Holy Innocents Catholic church at Manitowoc, with the Rev. E.A. Radey officiating.
The death driver, Kenneth E. Wilhelm, aged 20, was charged in municipal court later Saturday morning with causing the death of Mr. Lulloff through the operation of his car while drunk and in a reckless and negligent manner while traveling at an excessive rate of speed. The youth declined the services of an attorney and pleaded guilty to all charges.
The fatal accident climaxed a chilling 70-mile per hour chase through the streets of Manitowoc. Mr. Lulloff was hit by the speeding car and thrown into the air above the car and landed on the pavement where it was caught again by the lower front part of the car and dragged approximately 80 feet.
Mr. Lulloff was struck on the left front fender and headlight as he was walking across the street.
The body of Mr. Lulloff appeared lifeless when placed into the ambulance to be taken to the Holy Family hospital, and the coroner said he believed death was instantaneous, as the victim's injuries were a broken neck, broken right shoulder, fractured left ankle and right knee, crushed chest and internal injuries.

The deceased was born in St. Nazianz in 1884, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Lulloff. He operated a tin shop in St. Nazianz until 1912 when he moved to Greenleaf and opened a hardware store. He retired from the business in 1938 following the death of his wife, the former Mary Holfeltz of Osman, and moved to Manitowoc.
Survivors include a son, Harold at home; four daughters, Mrs. John Ide of Highland, Cal., Mrs. J. P. Weidner of Philadelphia, Mrs. Kenneth Keiper of Laona, and Mrs. R. J. Sullivan of Milwaukee; two brothers, George of Sheboygan, and Hugo of De Pere; a sister, Mrs. Ida Nichols of Los Angeles; and eight grandchildren.
