EDWARD A. BROUCHOUD

Hunter Found Dead of Heart Attack After 24 Hour Search.
Edward Brouchoud, Mishicot, Victim.
A 24-hour search for Edward Brouchoud, Mishicot, who was reported
missing after a hunting trip just north of Mishicot Tuesday, ended
this morning when his body was found in a field of heavy brush on
the Peter Hronek farm near Mishicot. Coroner Theodore Teitgen was
called and announced that the man had died of a heart attack. No
inquest will be held. Mr. Brouchoud, a World War I veteran, had
been living with his sister, Mrs. Gust Cherney, in the village of
Mishicot. Brouchoud went into the woods to inspect his traps and
do some hunting Tuesday morning, and when he failed to return for
dinner, a searching party was sent out to look for him.
50 Farmers Search
The coroner said that the searching party knew approximately where
Mr. Brouchoud hunted each day and concentrated their search for him.
About 50 farmers scoured the area and one group Tuesday came within
a few feet of the spot where his body was found, but he was not
discovered until shortly after 9 o’clock this morning. Sheriff Arthur
Trutschell and four deputies aided in the search this morning. The
body was discovered by Merle Trossen. The gun was still caught under
Mr. Brouchoud’s arm. Coroner Teitgen said he believed the man had
been dead about 20 hours.
Funeral services for Mr. Brouchoud will be held at the Holy Cross
Catholic Church in Mishicot at 9 o’clock Saturday morning, with Rev.
Joseph Van Bogart officiating. Burial will be in Holy Cross Cemetery.
The body is in the Specht Funeral Home and may be viewed there after
10 o’clock Thursday morning. The rosary will be recited at the funeral
home at 8 o’clock Friday evening.
