Schroeder, 43, of Janesville was killed instantly Tuesday morning, November 3, when a cable he was holding came in contact with a high voltage line about 10 a.m. Schroeder was working on a culvert construction project at the Jerry Hogan farm near Janesville. Employed by the Waseca County Highway Department some 12 years, Schroeder was killed instantly when the high voltage charge passed through his left hand and out his right toes. The fatal accident, first electrocution death in Waseca County this year, happened on county road 53, one mile southeast of Janesville. Waseca County sheriff authorities said Schroeder was working in a field driveway with the county highway department, where workers were installing a culvert. A drag-line crane was being used to help install the large tiles, which measured four feet in length and were about three feet in circumference. Schroeder had picked up the cable from the drag-line crane and was attempting to attach it on a tile when he brushed up against a high line wire. Operator of the crane was Leo Witte of Faribault. The Waseca county sheriff authorities said they had no immediate idea how high the voltage was in the accident. The body was taken to the Arnoldt Funeral Home in Janesville where visitation will be held Thursday. The rosary will be recited at the funeral home at 8 p.m. Thursday. Funeral services will be held at 9:30 a.m. Friday, November 6, at the St. Ann's Catholic Church with Father W. D. Sullivan officiating. Interment will be in the church cemetery. Pallbearers will be Tom Glynn, John Glynn, Bob Ryan, Kenneth Lau, Arnold Anderson and Theo. Cowdin.

On July 29, 1947, he was united in marriage to Edith Pagel of Janesville at the St. Ann's Catholic Church. He was employed at the Standard Lumber Co. in Janesville a few years, before moving to California where he worked in a lumber market some four years. The family returned to Janesville about 12 years ago where they have since resided and Mr. Schroeder had been employed as truck driver for the Waseca County Highway Department. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus and the St. Ann's Catholic Church. Surviving to mourn his untimely passing are his wife and four children at home, Steven, 16, Rosemary, 13, Susie, 11 and Billie, 6.
