Chief of Police Burnell Imhoff succumbed to injuries sustained five days earlier in a motorcycle crash at the intersection of Main Street and Custer Avenue.

He was first taken home and then transported to St. Joseph's Hospital, where he remained until succumbing to his injuries.
Chief Imhoff was a U.S. Army veteran of WWI and had served with the New Holland Police Department for 2-1/2 years. He was the agency's first police chief and was survived by his wife and three daughters.
