Bolf, Theresa (11 May 1954 – 17 May 1976)

Funeral services were being held this week in Greenwood for three area residents who were injured fatally in a collision between two cars on Highway 13, just north of Marshfield, about 7 p.m. Sunday.

Marathon County authorities reported that the car driven by Mrs. Bolf went out of control on the rain-slicked highway and skidded cross-wise of the pavement in front of the Roberts car. They attributed the accident to the slick condition of the highway surface and high speed. A motorist saw the Bolf car shortly before the accident, the officers reported, and estimated the speed of the car at from 80 to 90 miles per hour.

Roberts who was instantly killed, was pinned inside his car until firemen from Marshfield were able to cut his door open.

Roberts, his wife and step-son had left a Marshfield supper club but moments before the accident. They had dined there with Mr. and Mrs. Richard Thompson and Mr. and Mrs. Arden Hinkelmann, of Neillsville, after attending an art showing of Mrs. Thompson’s works in Marshfield.

Funeral services were held Wednesday morning from the Rinka Funeral Home in Greenwood for Mrs. Theresa Bolf, 22, who died of head injuries in a Marshfield hospital at 9:13 a.m. Monday. The Rev. Robert Houston, pastor of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Greenwood, was to be in charge. Burial was to be made in St. Mary’s Cemetery.

Mrs. Bolf, whose address was Marshfield, had recently moved to that city from Greenwood, and had been employed at a root beer stand there.

She was born May 11, 1954, in Marshfield, to Mr. and Mrs. Ed Sloniker. She attended Greenwood schools, and was married April 21, 1971, to Denni Bolf. She worked at the Stewart Cheese Factory in Greenwood for five years and had just recently moved to Marshfield.

Surviving besides her husband are a daughter, Heather, her mother, Mrs. Lyle (Bonnie) Hardrath of Marshfield, her father, Ed Sloniker of Greenwood, three sisters Laura Sloniker, Mrs. Dan (Kathy) Bowman and Peggy Sloniker, all of Marshfield; a half-sister, Heidi Hardrath of Marshfield. And three grandparents, Mrs. Floyd Updyke and Mr. and Mrs. Ross Sloniker, all of Greenwood.

Double services were to be held today (Thursday) at 10:30 a.m. from the Rinka Funeral Home for Gordon Roberts, 56, of Greenwood, and his step-son, Michael A. Kotcon, 24, of Willard. Kotcon died in the Marshfield hospital about 10:30 p.m. Sunday, two and one-half hours after the accident.
