Beilke, William J. #2 (1904? - 21 AUG 1956)
Clark County’s death total jumped to six Tuesday night when William J. Beilke, 52, Abbotsford, an employee of Christensen Sales Company, crashed into a westbound Northwester freight at a town of Grant (Clark Co., Wis.) crossing four miles northeast of Neillsville.
The victim was taken to Memorial Hospital in Neillsville where he died 15 minutes after arrival. Death was due to a crushed head and other cuts and bruises.
The accident occurred at 9:45 when the northbound auto struck the second engine of an 80 car freight. The impact scattered the car up to 400 feet and Beilke was thrown about 20 feet from the wreckage. Not married, the victim will be buried in Woodstock, Ill.
