• Notes

  WINCH CAUSES TRAGEDY According to another brother, Albert, of Boonville Highway, Evansville, a winch being used by steel workers at the church swayed and caused brick and stone to fall from the front wall. Between 400 and 500 bricks and stones fell, he said, sending the three men on a scaffold 30 feet above the ground crashing to earth. Three other brothers, Henry, Robert, and Michael, were at the building site. Two were working in a passage through the center of the church and two were sending materials to the men on the scaffold. Rev. Clarence J. Lindauer, pastor of St. Peter and Paul's, rushed from the parsonage next door and administered the last sacrament to the dying man. August Ubelhor succumbed before a physician reached the scene. NECK IS BROKEN Cause of death was a broken neck, according to Gibson County Coroner Robert D. Kendall, who held an inquest an hour after the accident. Two other brothers were taken to St. Mary's by ambulance. Edward suffered injuries to his right hip and chest and left ear. Joseph incurred scratches on his head and face and a bruised right hip. About 15 other men, steel workers and carpenters, were present when the accident occurred. The new church, made of St. Meinrad sandstone with an Indiana limestone trim, is to replace the building badly damaged by a storm in May, 1941, according to Rev. Lindauer. Temporary repairs were made at the time, he said, and World War II prevented carrying out immediate plans for new construction. The old church was torn down in May, 1949, and construction was started on the new one in August. SURVIVORS ARE LISTED Mr. Ubelhor's body was taken from Ziliak funeral home here to the Zoercher funeral home in Tell City tonight. It will be taken to the residence in St. Croix Thursday morning. Surviving, in addition to his brothers, are his wife, Mrs. Rose Lasher Ubelhor, St. Croix; mother, Mrs. Theresa Ubelhor, Evansville; two sons, Maurice, of Apalona, and Roman Ubelhor, Uniontown; 11 daughters, Mrs. Agnes Sisson, Arlington, Va.; Mrs. Antony Leistner, St. Croix; Sister Catherine, D.C., Terre Haute; Miss Jeanette Ubelhor, Evansville; Mrs. Dorothy Pontones, Princeton; Misses Rita, Marlene, Sheila, Chantelle, Sandra and Deanna, all at home; three sisters, Miss Minnie Ubelhor, Mrs. Philip Schilling and Mrs. Mike Jacobs, all of Evansville. Funeral services will be held at 9 a.m. Saturday at Holy Cross Catholic church, St. Croix, with Rev. Patrick Gleason officiating. Burial will be in the church cemetery.
