MEETS DEATH IN FALL INTO HOLD OF STEAMER DUNCAN
TWO RIVERS MAN DIES FOUR HOURS AFTER THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED AT THE RY DOCK MONDAY NIGHT
Joseph Skorth (sic), known at Two Rivers, his home, as Skorzewski, died at the hospital in this city late Monday night as result of injuries sustained when he fell into the hold of the steamer Duncan at the dock at the yards of the Manitowoc Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co. Death was due to internal hurts, there being no external injuries on the body.
Skorth was 24 years of age and was employed at the yards as a helper to boiler makers and was leaving his work for the day when the accident happened at 6:40. Skorth had been at work on the Duncan and was leaving the boat when in some manner he fell through an open hatch of the boat and into the hold, a distance of eighteen feet. Fellow workmen gave instant attention to the injured man and a physician was summoned and Skorth was taken to the hospital, where it was found that he was suffering from concussion of the brain. The injured man survived four hours, passing away at 11 o'clock without having regained consciousness.
Officers of the Dry Dock Co., gave the injured man every attention and Mr. Geer arranged for a special car on the Traction lines to bring members of his family here from Two Rivers. The family resides on the Range Line, a short distance north of Two River and a message was immediately sent to the parents to meet the car at Two Rivers. They failed to reach here in time, however, arriving at the hospital at 12, one hour after the death of Skorth.
Skorth had been making his home in this city with a sister Mrs. Leo Revolinski, 1223 S. Twentieth street. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Anton Skorth or Skorczewski, Two Rivers and is survived by his parents, five brothers and four sisters, a twin brother Anton at home, John, Two Rivers, Felix, Peter and Frank, Milwaukee and Mrs. Revolinski, Mr. Charles Mrotek, Mrs. Jos. Lewandowski, this city and Mrs. Frank Gonia of Two Rivers.
The body was removed to the undertaking rooms of Urbanek & Wattawa and will be taken to Two Rivers for burial. Skorth had been employed at the local yards for some time and was an industrious youth.
The funeral will be held Thursday morning and may be held in this city or at Two Rivers this not having been decided.
