    Notes 
    • From the obit in the La Crosse paper:

      “A young Ebner’s Coulee matron was accidentally electrocuted some time during Tuesday afternoon while she was in her bath.

      “Mrs. Knute (Pearle) Sondrol, 33, was found by her six-year-old son, Kenneth, when he arrived from school at about 4 p.m. When Knute Sondrol came home about 5 p.m., the child was hysterically trying to arouse his mother and pull her from the tub.

      “Dr. George D. Reay, La Crosse County coroner, said that Mrs. Sondrol still was clutching a heat lamp. It is not known whether the woman slipped as she was getting into the tub and snatched at the lamp for support, or if she touched the fixture accidentally while in the bath. She received bad body burns.

      “The Sondrol family had lived in its new Coulee home about a year, neighbors said.

      “She is survived by her husband, Knute; one son, Kenneth, at home; her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Quam of Minneapolis; two brothers, Vern and Donald of Minneapolis; three sisters, Iona, Harriette, and Marion of Minneapolis. One sister preceded her in death.

      “Funeral services will be held Friday at 2:30 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church, the Rev. Lavern Hanson officiating. Burial will be in Oak Grove Cemetery. Friends may call at the Sletten-McKee Southside Chapel Thursday evening from 7 to 9 o’clock.”
