EDWARD W. IHRIG IS FATALLY INJURED AS VEHICLES COLLIDE
Oshkosh Man Sustains Skull Fracture -- Companion, A.W. Radcliffe, Escapes with Cuts and Bruises
Injuries received in an auto collision on a town road south of Oshkosh about 7 o'clock last evening were fatal for Edward W. Ihrig, 72 year - old president-treasurer of the Pine Ihrig Machine Company.
Death resulted from a skull fracture and other injuries at Mercy hospital, about a half hour after the accident.
County authorities said the driver of the automobile involved in a collision with a coupe driven by Ihrig, was Fred C. Luebke, 65, of Route 1, Oshkosh.
Luebke was arraigned in municipal court this morning and paid fines and costs totaling $21.05 for operating an unlicensed automobile and with driving after his operator's license had been suspended for drunken driving.
INQUEST IS CALLED
Dr. G. A. Steele, county coroner said an inquest into the death will be held. Under-sheriff Harry Zarling impaneled a jury to meet at 1 o'clock this afternoon to view the scene of the accident.
The date for the inquest was to be set at that time.
Jurors selected were John Brueske, Warren Coe, Eric Baller, Melvin Apell, A.M. Bleser and Oscar Garlot.
The official report on the accident showed that Ihrig was driving east on the town road that enters Highway 41 - 45 just north of Hansen's corner's. A.W. Radcliffe, 59, of 40 Union street, was a passenger in the coupe but escaped from the mishap with minor cuts and bruises.
At the intersection of the town road that extends south from Highway 41 - 45 near Oshkosh Country Club, the Ihrig auto was struck on the left side by a model "A" Ford being driven south by Luebke, police said.
OVERTURNS IN IMPACT
The Ihrig auto was struck squarely in the center, according to the police report, the impact overturning the coupe causing it to stop upside down in a ditch at the southeast corner of the intersection.
Mr. Ihrig was thrown out of the left side door of the coupe as it overturned. Radcliff was able to crawl out from beneath the wreckage with bruises to his right knee and the left side of his face.
The car driven by Luebke also tipped on its side, but Luebke was not hurt.
Luebke told police he did not see the Ihrig auto until it was too late to avoid a collision. He said he was driving 20 mile an hour.
The county ambulance, operated by Clarence Zarling took Ihrig to the hospital while Radcliffe was taken to the hospital by Harold Hanson of Route 1.
Radcliffe was later released after being treated for cuts and bruises.
Mr. Ihrig, who became unconscious at the scene of the accident, expired shortly after he reached the hospital.
Under-sheriff Harry Zarling and Traffic Officer Eugene Meigher and Edwin Harwod made the investigation. Officer Meigher signed the complaint that was the basis for Luebke's arraignment in court. The court records show that Luebke lost his driver's license for drunken driving in 1941. At that time he lived at 544 Eighth street.
BORN IN VINLAND
Born in the town of Vinland, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Ihrig, on July 11, 1870, Edward William Ihrig came to Oshkosh, with his parents in 1872.
He was educated in the Grace Evangelical Lutheran school and the old Third ward school. His first employment was with the Furniture and Coffin Company, Lincoln, Neb., and later was a salesman for the Buckstaff-Edwards Company, this city.
He organized the Edward-Ihrig Company, manufacturers of mattress springs and caskets. Later he formed the Pine-Ihrig Company, machine builders. He served in active capacity in that company up to the time of his death. Mr. Ihrig was president and treasurer of the company.
In past years, Mr. Ihrig made three trips to continental Europe, was in Vienna at the time of the Bulkan wars and was at Brussels, Belgium, during World War I. He also made trips to New Zealand and Australia in 1914 and 1915.
Mr. Ihrig was a member of the Oshkosh Elks lodge for many years, the Travelers Protective association, the Oshkosh Chamber of Commerce and the Republican party.
INTERESTED IN SPORTS

On Sept 1, 1892, he married Alma K. Look at Lincoln, Neb. Mrs. Ihrig is the sole immediate survivor. Several nieces and nephews also survive. A son, Lester H. Ihrig, died as a result of injuries received in a basketball game played by service team of the navy during the time of World War I, in which the son served in the navy.
