Matthes, Theodore (1888? - 31 May 1952)

No inquest will be held in the death of Theodore Matthes of Abbotsford, route 1, age 64, according to John W. Hildensperger, Marathon county coroner, who termed the death accidental. Matthes died of head injuries Saturday in the Marshfield, Wisconsin Hospital after he was admitted.

Hildensperger said Matthes, a bachelor, was found unconscious on the floor on his farm shortly after noon Saturday. He said the man apparently had fallen from a hay mow. He was found by the young son of a niece. The niece and two children, displaced persons, came to make their home with Matthes about six weeks ago.

Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the Zink Funeral Home, Abbotsford, Wis.
