TERRY RONALD DAMM
Dog Fails to Save Life of Valders Boy
Valders – A little cocker spaniel puppy tried valiantly to summon aid for his two-year-old master, Terry Ronald Damm, here Monday afternoon, but help arrived too late.
Terry drowned in the Valders creek swollen with water from the spring thaw. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Damm, he had been out walking with his father. The father left the boy in the yard.
Then he noticed the dog barking down at the creek. He went to investigate and found his son's body caught in brush about 500 feet downstream from where the dog was barking in three feet of water.
Dr. Edgar Huth was called and the fire department rescue squad brought the new
pneolator. Undersheriff Clarence Baryenbruch, county traffic officers, and Coroner
Theodore Teitgen, all came to the scene, but hour long attempts to revive the boy proved futile.
The creek which runs through the southwestern corner of Valders empties into the Manitowoc River. It is normally dry except for the spring season.
Terry was born June 16, 1950. He has no brothers or sisters. In addition to his parents he is survived by his maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Berg, Route 1, Valders, and his paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Damm,
Collins.
Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday at the Berge Funeral home, Valders.
The Rev. A. B. Holland, pastor of the Valders Ev. Lutheran Church will officiate.
Burial will be in the West Valders Ev. Lutheran Church cemetery.
The body will lie in state at the funeral parlor from 2 p.m. Wednesday until the time of service.
