Opferkuch, Charles Burt (1933? - 6 FEB 1957)

John Opferkuch, about 23, of Hannibal (Taylor Co.), Wis., was accidentally killed about 5 p.m. yesterday afternoon when a log fell off a truck and fractured his skull.

Opferkuch was helping unload pulpwood on a railway siding near the Thorp newspaper office when the accident occurred. He released a tie chain and four or five logs rolled off the truck, one of them striking him. He lived only a few moments.

He is the son of Philip Opferkuch. He was not married.

The body was taken to Gilman for funeral arrangements.

Military: Co. A., 724th Eng. Bat. (C), Wisconsin National Guard
