HAROLD “SNOWY” WULFF FATALLY INJURED IN WRECK SATURDAY

(picture & caption) The Chevrolet Sedan, driven by Harold Wulff, was practically demolished in a fatal collision Saturday evening.

Harold (Snowy) Wulff, of rural Blair, was killed in a two-car-collision which occurred about 9:00 P.M. Saturday evening, June 26, near the intersection of two county roads. Mr. Wulff was listed as “Dead on Arrival” when brought to the Blair Memorial Hospital by the Rescue Squad.

Also listed on the rescue squad report were Mrs. Harold Wulff, with cuts and back injuries; Linda Sprick, with back injuries and cuts; and Kevin Fleming, with cuts.

The collision took place just east of the intersection south of the Raymond Wilson farm, 3 miles north and 2 miles west of Blair. At this point the Chevrolet driven by Mr. Wulff, driving west, was in collision with a Chevrolet sedan driven by Kevin Fleming of Blair. The Fleming vehicle was going east. The collision was practically head-on and both cars were demolished. Mrs. Wulff was a passenger in the car with her husband and Linda Sprick was a passenger in the Fleming vehicle.

Steve Rigas, of Omaha, who is a cousin of Miss Sprick, was also a passenger in the Fleming automobile. He sustained minor cuts and bruises.

Mr. Wullf, known universally as “Snowy”, was a longtime resident of the Spiker neighborhood, where he had worked on the farms of Albert and Wesley Sprick for over 40 years.

Harold Christian Wulff, known to his friends as “Snowy”, was born November 19, 1911 at Fontanelle. He had spent his entire life as a farmer, most of the time associated with the late Albert Sprick and more recently with Wesley Sprick who now operates the home farm.

He is survived by his wife, Violet, who is in serious condition at the Blair hospital following the accident and by one son, Jerry, who lives at Malvern, New York. There are three grandchildren.

His stepmother, Mrs. Nels Wulff, resides in Fremont.

Mr. Wulff had four sisters: Mrs. Robert Jenkins (JoAnn) of LaCrosse, Wisconsin; Mrs. William Mutschier (Winnona) and Mrs. Louis Schurkam (Leona), both of Concord, California; and Mrs. Irvin May (Mildred) of Fremont.

There are two brothers: Virgil Wulff of El Sabrante, California and Irvin of Ontario, Oregon.

Funeral services will be held at the First Lutheran Church this (Thursday) afternoon at 2 p.m. The Rev. Sanford D. Sorgen will conduct the service. Burial, under the direction of the Bendorf Funeral Home, will be made at the Blair Cemetery.

Pallbearers will be Victor Enger, Earl Stokes, Russell Ryan, Chester Spiker, Walter Koenig and Curtis Bendorf.
