Marek, Roxie (1906? - 22 AUG 1956)

Miss Roxie Marek, about 50, a Thorp beauty shop operator, died of injuries received in an auto accident about 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, 13 miles south of Adams.

Glen Manthey, Friendship, Adams County Deputy Sheriff, said a car driven by an unidentified man coming from Mauston east on Highway 82 smashed into the side of the car driven by Miss Marek.

According to Friends in Thorp (Clark Co., Wis.), Miss Marek was driving her sister, Rose, back home after a visit in Thorp.  Manthey said the Marek car was going south on Highway 13.

Another car driven by Irene Nast, Mineral Point, was also involved in the accident.  The Nast car was driving north on Highway 13.

Manthey said Miss Marek suffered critical injuries, compound fractures of both legs, and a great loss of blood.  He said she died from the injuries in Mauston Hospital.

As far as his records show, Manthey said, Miss Marek’s sister apparently wasn’t injured.
