Rice Lake Chronotype Nov. 1, 1978 obituary (Rice Lake, Barron County, WI)

HL:"Youth Dies When Cycle Leaves Road"

"The first traffic fatality for the city of Rice Lake occured early Thursday 
morning, when Lonnie D. Robarge, 19, of Rt. 2, Birchwood, lost control of 
his motorcycle on E. Orchard Beach lane.  The motorcycle left the road, hit 
a tree and rolled.  A friend, searching for Robarge, came upon the scene of 
the accident shortly before 8 a.m. Thursday and notified police.  Robarge 
was enroute home after finishing work some time around midnight at McDonald's 
restaurant when the accident occurred.  The police reported that Robarge was 
wearing a helmet. Funeral services were held Monday at the Grace Lutheran 
church in Brill with Rev. Douglas Schoen officiating.  Robarge, who was born 
May 30, 1959 at Ludlow, Mass., was a 1978 graduate of Rice Lake high school 
and current student at the Rice Lake WITI.  He is survived by his parents, 
Gene Harriet Robarge of rural Birchwood; two sisters, Jill and Jennifer; 
paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John Robarge of Rice Lake and great-
grandmother, Alice LaBrie of Rice Lake."
