ESCAPING STEAM CAUSES DEATH OF HILBERT WORKMAN
Michael Bauer Burned at Chilton Here a Week Ago, Dies
Michael Bauer. 34, of Hilbert died at 6:30 Friday morning as a result of burns received when he was scalded by steam from a boiler at the Dorsehel-Kroehlke Lumber company Chilton Saturday night, Dec.4. Bauer with a fellow employee, Henry Steffus of Chilton, had remained after 6 o'clock to clean the boiler. The men had awaited until 10:30 in the evening and the steam gauge on the boiler registered no pressure, according to reports. Bauer climbed to the top of the boiler and Steffus who was below noticed some steam escapeing from the manhole and cautioned Bauer to wait a while longer. Steffus bent down to turn a faucet of water and Bauer kicked at the plug holding the manhole. The cover was released and a charge of hot steam enveloped Bauer. He was thrown to the floor and was badly burned about, the head, back and legs. He was taken to St. Elizabeth hospital at Appleton. Steffus was uninjured. Funeral services for Bauer will be held at 10:30 Tuesday morning from the home at Hilbert and at St. John Catholic church with the Rev. Father Ruppold in charge. Interment will be
made at Hilbert.
Survivors are his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Bauer of Hilbert, three sisters. Mrs. Michael Theil. Margaret and Miss Lena Keller of Hilbert and four brothers. George and Theodore of Hilbert. Joseph of New Holstein and Anton of Milwaukee.
