Grave of Herman Ladwig May Be Opened To Determine Cause of Death
There seems to be considerable diversity of opinion among physicians
here and at Sheboygan, as to the cause which led to the death of
Herman Ladwig, the Manitowoc boy who was treated at the Sheboygan
hospital and died last week. It may result in the body being exhumed
to settle the dispute and indicate the assertions of the attending
physicians.
A special to the Evening Wisconsin from Sheboygan, under date of July
11 says: “A controversy has arisen as to the cause of the death of
Herman Ladwig, a Manitowoc young man who died in Sheboygan last week.
At Manitowoc the impression prevails that the young man died of lockjaw
in terrible agony. This impression is not confirmed in Sheboygan though
there are conflicting statements as to the cause of the young man’s
death which is likely to result in the body being exhumed. The physician
who had the case in charge says that the young man which infected the
digestive organs. Another doctor, one of the leading physicians of
Sheboygan who saw the case fourteen hours before death came says the
young man died of mastoiditis and brain involvement, the result of an
injury at Manitowoc five months ago. In this he says he is upheld by a
leading physician of Manitowoc and another Sheboygan doctor while the
doctor who claims that Ladwig died of bowel infection says he is upheld
by two physicians of Sheboygan who saw the case. The young man had several
teeth removed and others treated about three weeks before he died, but
none of the Sheboygan physicians attribute anything from this as causing
his death.
Ladwig was injured on the head about five months ago while working in
the woods near Manitowoc. A log fell striking a saw he was carrying and
both struck him heavily on the head. He was treated at Manitowoc at
first, and Dr. Fraser of that city said he could not be cured without
an operation for abscess of the brain. He came to Sheboygan to be treated
by Dr. Grimer about six weeks ago, he being told by the Sheboygan
physician who formerly lived in the vicinity of Manitowoc that an
operation was not necessary.”
