Wausau Hunter Finds Body of Herman Ewert 
 

A bird hunter happened across the body of a town of Lynne resident late Thursday afternoon in an isolated section of western Oneida County, Coroner Albert G. Onson said today. Discovery of the body came apparently a couple of hours after death. 
 

The dead man was identified as Herman Ewert, 64, who had lived alone on Pier Lake, 15 miles north of Tripoli. 
 

The hunter, Lawrenee J. Bernhardt, Wausau, found Ewert's body slumped across a wood pile about half a mile from Ewert's lonely home. Death apparently came via a heart attack while Ewert was sawing wood, Coroner

Onson said. Indications were that Ewert had eaten lunch in his home and gone to the wood lot early in the afternoon, apparently suffering the fatal seizure about 1:30 or 2 p. m. 
 

Ewert was a World Was I veteran. 
 

Ewert is survived by two brothers, Charles of Unity, Wis., and Oscar of Marshfield, and two sisters, Mrs. Hulda Keith of Dayton, O., and Mrs. Alma Flink of Unity, Wis. 
 

Funeral services will be held in Unity Sunday afternoon, and the body will be sent there tomorrow by the Hildebrand Funeral Home.
