He was a graduate of Tri-County Union High School at Tripoli. Surviving are his parents; one brother, James, and one sister, Janice.
It. was the ninth traffic fatality of the year for Lincoln county. The mishap took place about. 3:15 a.m. and was discovered by a passing motorist about 4 a.m. Schweke was taken to Sacred Heart hospital at Tomahawk by ambulance but died shortly after being admitted. He suffered a cerebral concussion, fractures of both bones in the left leg and numerous bruises and lacerations. Shock and the concussion were listed as the causes of death.
The youth apparently fell asleep at the wheel, Lincoln county officers surmised. The vehicle, heading west, veered to the left and struck the south abutment of the bridge, the impact shearing off the left side of the car. Schweke apparently was thrown out of the car but managed to crawl back in before he was found.
