Fillipp, Nestor (1872 - 24 SEP 1935)

Nestor Fillip, 62, residing one mile east of Owen (Clark Co., Wis.), died at the hospital at Chippewa Falls Tuesday morning, at which place he had been taken the afternoon before, suffering with injuries received from an automobile accident.

Mr. Fillipp was driving along the highway just west of the intersection of highways 73 and 29, at Withee, when he lost control of his car, while another automobile was attempting to pass him. His car went to the ditch and in doing so he fell from his roadster, receiving internal injuries and a fractured pelvic bone. He was taken immediately to the hospital at Chippewa Falls, where upon examination he was found to be injured internally and his condition very grave.

Funeral services will be conducted tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock from the Finnish Lutheran Church, the Rev. Carl Tamminen of Duluth officiating, and burial will take place in Riverside Cemetery.

Those left to mourn are six sons and one daughter. A daughter preceded him in death about five years ago, she being instantly killed when struck by an automobile in front of her home.
