Glenzer, Ronald F. (10 JAN 1917 - 11 MAR 1965)

A Stanley motorist, Ronald Frederick Glenzer, 48, died at 4 a.m. today in Victory Memorial Hospital at Stanley as a result of injuries suffered in an automobile accident about 3 miles east of Owen (Clark Co., Wis.) on Highway 29 early Sunday evening.

Officer Frank Sarafin, Thorp, who investigated, said that a car driven by Julius D. Morgan, Thorp, was headed west , pulling another car occupied by Edward M. Walczyk, also of Thorp. Something apparently went wrong with the tow-bar which connected the two vehicles, and Morgan stopped to make an inspection.

Glenzer's car was traveling west and struck the side of the lead vehicle driven by Morgan, then sideswiped the second car before crossing the road and nosing over into the south ditch.

Glenzer was taken to the Victory Memorial Hospital at Stanley suffering from chest injuries.

Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. at Epiphany Lutheran Church at Stanley. The Rev. Robert W. Olson will officiated and burial will be made in the Evergreen Cemetery at Stanley.

The body will repose at the Plombon Funeral Home in Stanley from Thursday noon until Friday noon, and then at the church.

Glenzer was born Jan. 10, 1917 in the town of Green Grove, Clark Co., Wis., and attended Curtiss High School. He worked with his father on the home farm, and then served four years in the U.S. Army.

His marriage to Dorothy Kibbel took place May 4, 1945 at Dubuque, Iowa. After their marriage they moved to Curtiss, where they resided until 1957, when they moved to Stanley. Glenzer had been employed by the Northern States Power Co.

He was a member of the Epiphany Lutheran Church at Stanley, and the V.F.W. at Colby.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by two sons, Glen and Gary; two daughters, Sharon and Lynn, all at home; four brothers, Fred, Curtiss; Hubert, Owen; Harold, Colby; and Walter, Genesee Depot; and a sister, Mrs. Rudy (Dorothy) Heyer, Wausau.
