Victor Emond Dies as Result of Unusual Plant Accident A razor sharp scraping tool which slipped from the grasp of Victor Emond, 36, 1722 - 18th street, father of seven small children, shortly before noon today penetrated his abdomen, severing a leg artery to cause his death at 1:30 this afternoon. Occurred Near Noon The accident occurred in the machine shop of Plant No. 4 of the Aluminum Goods Manufacturing company here about 11:45 this morning and death was caused by loss of blood. Witnesses told Herman C. Wentorf, manager of the two plants here, that Mr. Emond, a well known machinist, was holding the tool with a sharp edge toward the left side of his abdomen and that his other hand touched the tool and forced it into his side. Daniel Sibenhorn was working along side Mr. Emond when the accident occurred. The victim of this unusual accident was rushed to the first aid room in the plant and medical aid summoned. He was later taken to the Two Rivers Municipal hospital in the Beduhn ambulance but the loss of blood had proved fatal. An internal hemorrhage was caused and physicians told the family that, had he recovered, he would have lost the leg. Born at Niagara The body was taken to the Beduhn Funeral Home, but funeral arrangements have not yet been completed. Victor Emond was born in Niagara, Wis., on December 14, 1900 and came to this city in 1914. He became an employee of the Aluminum Goods company shortly after moving here and was employed there ever since. In September 1924 he married Miss Sophia Kulbacki of Ashland, who with seven children, survives. His father, George Emond; two sisters, Mrs. Alfred Allie and Mrs. Sylvester Schmitt; and five brothers, Luke, Aaron, Everett, David and Kenneth also survive. All survivors live in this city.
