Accident and Heart Attack Prove Fatal
SOUTHERN MANITOBA FATHERS DIE IN SEPARATE MISHAPS
Winkler, Man. — Two fatalities occurred in this area during the March 16 week end.
Jacob P. Hoeppner, 59, Windygates farmer and the father of 13 children was killed Sunday night while changing a tire on his car just east of Morden on Highway No. 3. Hoeppner had just stopped to help another motorist, discovered a flat on his own car, when an approaching driver apparently blinded by the light of the latter car, struck him.
John Dyck, 49, of Dominion City, the father of two children, died of a heart seizure Sunday night while helping a neighbor extinguish a brooder-house fire. The loss in the fire was estimated at only $200. Dyck shovelled snow onto the burning building when he suffered his attack.
