Notes - Fond du Lac Commonwealth Reporter, Wed. Oct. 11, 1967. Resident of Home, 85, Struck by Car, Killed. An 85-year-old woman became the city's third traffic fatality of 1967 early today, when she was fatally injured after bein struck by a car as she crossed North Park Avenue near East Arndt Street. Mrs. Mollie Steinmetz, a resident of the Henry Boyle Catholic Home for the Aged at 271 N. Park Ave., was pronounced dead on arrival at St. Agnes Hospital. She was struck by a car driven by David Elsinger, 18, of Campbellsport, at 6:30 a.m. Elsinger told police that he was headed north on North Park Avenue in his car and that he saw a woman (Mrs. Steinmetz) step off the curb into the path of his vehicle. He applied the car's brakes and turned the vehicle to the left, but the front-fender of the machine struck Mrs. Steinmetz who was walking east to west across the roadway near the Catholic Home. Coroner Frank Decker said later this morning that an autopsy has revealed that Mrs. Steinmetz died as a result of internal injuries she received in the accident. She became Fond du Lac County's 26 traffic fatality of 1967 one more than the figure of 25 posted for all of 1966. Funeral services for Mrs. Steinmetz will be at 9 a.m. Saturday at St. Mary's Catholic Church with Rt. Rev. Msgr. Henry A. Maurer officiating. Burial will be in Calvary Cemetery.
