JOSEPH KUBICHEK
KILLED WHEN CAR TOPPLES ON HIS CHEST
Joseph Kubichek Victim of Accident When Auto Falls From Jacks
Joseph Kubichek, 31, iron worker, was crushed to death early Saturday evening
in the garage at the rear of his home, 1411 Franklin street, when a small car
under which he was at work toppled off the jacks and pinned him to the garage
floor.
Kubichek was dead when found by his mother-in-law, Mrs. Anna Hynek, as she went
to look for him when she got no response to calls from the house. Mrs. Kubichek
was downtown shopping at the time and did not reach home for more than an hour
after the tragedy.
Falls On His Chest
The man had gone to the garage in mid afternoon to make some repairs to his small
car. He jacked..(line underinked)..one of the jacks under the axle housing and
removed both rear wheels. From the position of the body it is believed that he
crawled under the rear of the car to make some adjustments with a wrench. These
operations probably moved the car off the jacks and it fell on his chest, crushing
out his life.
When Mrs. Hynek opened the garage door shortly before 4:45 p.m., she saw her son-
in-law under the car and called her father, Jacob Naidl, Whitelaw, visiting at the
Kubichek home. He in turn summoned police. Officers Darhant and Smrz reached the
garage and with the assistance of others the car was raised and the body pulled
from beneath the rear axle.
Dr. George Hoffman, who was called, said Kubichek had been almost instantly killed.
Dr. Gerald Rau, county coroner, said there will be no inquest.
Born at Mishicot
The deceased was born at Mishicot Sept. 10, 1904 and came to this city 12 years ago.
He was employed for many years at the shipyards and in recent months had been
employed at the Manitowoc Boiler Works. In 1927 he was married to Olive Hynek of
this city.
Survivors are his widow; three small daughters, Gladys, 7, Geraldine, 4, and Joanne,
2; a sister, Mrs. Fred Petska, Bolt, Wis.; five brothers, Jacob, city, Frank, Rice
Lake, Anton, Whitelaw, Charles, Kewaunee, Louis, Two Creeks.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday at 2 p.m., from the Wattawa, Urbanek and Schlei
funeral home in charge of the Rev. C. H. Phipps. Interment will be in Evergreen
cemetery.
The body is at the funeral home and may be viewed there until the hour of the funeral
tomorrow.
