Amdahl, Edmund (1933? - 5 DEC 1963)

 

Edmund Amdahl, 30, Stanley (Chippewa Co., Wis.), was killed instantly in a traffic mishap at noon Thursday on Highway 73, about 8 miles south of Gilman, just north of the Clark-Taylor County line.

 

Witnesses said that the bulk milk truck, which Amdahl was driving, gradually went off the right shoulder of the highway as it was headed north, going 150 feet in the east ditch.  The truck then rolled over several times when it was nearly back on the highway.  Amdahl was thrown out of the truck as it rolled, the truck coming to a stop on top of him.

 

The truck and tank were considered a total wreck.

 

Amdahl’s death was the sixth fatality on Taylor County highways this year.
