A shockingly tragic accident that occurred at about 7:30 Tuesday evening of this week caused the instant death of W. W. Koop, a widely-known farmer and building contractor, at the farm home 4 miles north and 2 west of Jewell where he had lived all his life. He was killed when a trailer from which he was about to help unload a harrow at the gateway into a field at his farm was hit by an approaching auto. His chest was crushed, both arms were broken, both legs broken, and a deep gash was cut on the back of both thighs. Death was probably instantaneous. Mr. Koop and one of his sons, Paul, had taken a harrow out to a field where they were going to unload it, Mr. Koop and Paul driving out in a car with the harrow in a trailer hitched behind the car. At the gateway from the road into the field they stopped, heading south, their car being at the west edge of the road with lights turned on as it was just at dusk. Mr. Koop had unhooked the trailer from the car and he had hold of the trailer tongue, backing it up toward the gate; the trailer being out on the east half of the road. Just then Mr. Koop's younger son, Andrew, who had been working at the W. J. Koop farm, drove up from the south. Seeing the lights of the car standing in the road he slowed down to pass it, on the east side; but driving into the lights of Mr. Koop's car he could not see the trailer and crashed into it. Paul, who was standing beside the trailer helping push it, jumped aside barely in time to avoid being hit. When Andrew's car hit the trailer, the impact jerked the trailer tongue with such force that the tongue struck Mr. Koop's body and also hurled him completely over Andrew's car, his body crashing upon the road a distance of 75 or 80 feet north of the spot where the trailer had stood. Wiebrand W. Koop was the son of Wiebrand and Harmka Koop. He was born April 12, 1878, on the farm where he lived at the time of his death, and lived there all his life except that for the first 12 years of his married life he lived on the farm adjoining the present Koop home on the east. He died April 15, 1941, at the age of 63 years and 3 days. Mr. Koop married Eka Welp at Kamrar Feb. 21, 1902. Twelve children were born to this union of whom two died in infancy and one daughter, Bertha, died when 13 years old. He is survived by his wife and nine children: Mrs. Harmka Huisman of Hillsdale, Wis., Mrs. Jessie Rigter, Mrs. Jennie Naber, Fred Koop, Mrs. Eka Naber, and Mrs. Janette [Jeanette] Greenfield, all of Kamrar, Mrs. Lawrence Stoppelmoor of Blairsburg, and Paul and Andrew, both at home. Other survivors include three sisters, Mrs. Simon Greenfield, Mrs. Anton Cordes and Mrs. George Smid, all of Kamrar; 15 grandchildren, and many other relatives. Three grandchildren preceded him in death. Mr. Koop had been a faithful and active member of the Presbyterian church for the past 38 years and at various times had served as deacon and as trustee of that church. He had served as a township trustee and had always been active in the affairs of his community. His tragic death is a shock to his friends and acquaintances throughout the entire county, whose most heartfelt sympathy goes out to the bereaved widow and family. The funeral will be held Friday afternoon, at 1:00 o'clock at the home and at 1:30 at the Presbyterian church, the pastor, Rev. H. F. Sinning, officiating. Burial will be in the Presbyterian cemetery.
