COUNTY CORONER LOUIS FALGE PASSES
AWAY AFTER ILLNESS OF THREE MONTHS
AT AGE 57 YRS.

WELL KNOWN PHYSICIAN AND EDUCATOR HAD BEEN PROMINENT IN COUNTY FOR MANY
YEARS--THREE OF FOUR SONS NOW SERVING WITH THE COLORS, ONE OVER SEAS

Dr. Louis Falge, coroner of Manitowoc county and one of the best known
physicians of the county, died late Sunday afternoon, death coming as a
welcome messenger of relief from an illness of four months, which gave no
hope of his recovery. Dr Falge suffered a breakdown three months ago and at
that time his life was despaired of, but he rallied, although physicians
held no hope that he would be restored to health.  For a week past he had
failed rapidly.
    News of the death of Dr. Falge will be received with keen sorrow
throughout Manitowoc county, he having been widely known, having been a
resident of the county since he was boy of nine years.  For years Dr. Falge
was located at Reedsville in the practice of his profession and later
removed to this city where he has been a resident for twelve years.
    Dr. Falge was prominent in educational affairs of Manitowoc county,
being a member of the school board of this city at the time of his death.
For fifteen years he was a member of the board of education at Reedsville
and his efforts aided materially in giving Reedsville its excellent schools.  
Dr. Falge was one of the original members of the school board here and has 
served for eight years.
    Born in Bohemia, on Sept. 9, 1861, Dr. Falge was 57 years of age at his
death.  He came to American in 1869, locating in this county where he has
been a resident ever since.  He attended the schools of the county and later
engaged in teaching at Newton and Cleveland and later at the Division street
school in this city.  He attended the University of Wisconsin and in 1884
received the degree of bachelor of science.  He graduated from Rush Medical
college at Chicago in 1887 and practiced at Cato and Reedsville, coming to
this city in 1907.
    Dr. Falge has taken a prominent interest in Historical research and was
an authority on Indian history of Manitowoc county and the state, having
secured a considerable collection of Indian relics, which he prized highly.
He was president of the Manitowoc County Historical society and a member of
the state society, and when the state organized the county war history
board, to collect material anent------was, Dr Falge was named as a member of
the board.
    In 1889 Dr. Falge was married to Marion E. Burton, of Unity, Wis., who
preceded him in death on May 27, 1912.  He is survived by four sons, three
of whom are serving with the colors.  Lieut. John Falge being an officer of
a United States destroyer operating from Boston; Robert Falge, a student at
the United States aviation school in Maine;  Raymond Falge, who is with the
United States forces in France, and Francis, who is at home in this city.
His aged father, Judge Hubert Falge, four sisters, Mrs. Max Rahr, of this
city; Mrs. Wm. Bernard, Manisteo; Mrs. Arthur Copps, Los Angeles, and Mrs.
Wm. Morris, of San Diego, and on brother, Ottmar Falge of Ladysmith,
survive.
    Dr. Falge was held in universal esteem by all who knew him.  A man of
high ideals, conscientious and a student, he gave his best to his profession
and to humanity and his death will be deeply mourned by many who knew him
best.
    The funeral will be held from the home of Judge Falge, So. 7th Street,
Wednesday afternoon, and will be in charge of the Masonic order, of which
deceased was a member.
    ---------------that any of the sons of Dr Falge will be able to reach
here for the funeral Wednesday.  Lieut. John Falge visited here two months
ago shortly after his father was taken ill but the two others in the service
have been unable to return to see him.

NEWS OF DEATH IS SORROW TO MANY FRIENDS
Announcement of the death of Mrs. Louis Falge Monday was received with
keen regret by friends and calls forth sympathy.  Though it was known that
Mrs. Falge's condition was extremely critical and that there was little hope
of recovery, the news of her death was a shock.
Mrs. Falge's illness was of eighteen months duration and was due to
cancer of the lower intestines.  Last fall Dr. A.J. Ochsner performed an
operation at Augustana hospital, Chicago, with apparent recovery but
relatives were informed that there was no hope of permanent recovery and
that the malady would terminate fatally.  This knowledge was kept from Mrs.
Falge and from friends until recently.  For several weeks Mrs. Falge has
been growing weaker and it was realized that death could not be stayed, and
at 1 o'clock Monday afternoon she quietly passed to rest.
Marion Burton Falge, was born at Plymouth, December 13, 1869 and removed
with her parents to Unity, Wis., where she graduated from the high school
with the class of 1885.  Following her graduation she taught school for
three years and attended the University of Wisconsin.  In 1889 she was
married to Dr. Louis Falge and the family made their home at Reedsville
until 1907 when they removed to this city where they have since resided.
Mrs. Falge is survived by her husband and five children, John, who
graduates from the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis June 7, Robert, Raymond,
Helen and Francis, at home.  Four brothers, A.W. Burton, superintendent of
schools at Green Bay, H.C.Burton, Pomona, Cal., Rev. C.V. Burton, of Chicago
and two sisters Mrs. E.T. Barford, Plymouth, Mrs. J.H. Healy of Reville
S.D., also survive.  Mrs. Healy had been with Mrs. Falge for five weeks and
all other brothers and sisters, with exception of S.N. Burton of California,
had visited her during her last illness.
Mrs. Falge was a woman of high ideals strong individuality and ability
and her life left its impress upon those with whom she came in contact, it
was in her home that she found her true sphere and her death is an
irreparable loss to her family.  Mrs. Falge was an ardent lover of Nature
and found happiness in the simple things in life.  Mrs. Falge was a member
of the Presbyterian church and in her last illness her patience and
fortitude and resignation of suffering emphasized the strong Christian faith
which marked her life.
Funeral services for Mrs. Falge wil be held from the late home at 616
St. Clair street Wednesday afternoon at 2, Rev. Sheppley officiating.

AUGUSTA FRANSWAY

From Der Nord Westen, 02 July 1903:
Death from a stroke on Thurs. last week of Mrs. Frank Fransway, 
a former resident of our city, in Pikeshill, N.Y., where she 
was visiting. The deceased, (nee Auguste Rosinsky), was born in 
Manitowoc 35 yrs. ago but has been living for several years in 
Oshkosh. She is survived by her husband and 2 children and here 
in Manitowoc by her sorrowing father and a brother. The body was 
brought here and committed to the ground on Sunday.
(Note: Since the ages don't match, I called the cemetery office and here is
what she said:
"The entry you have from the tombstone is on the same lot as the entry I have, 
so I have to assume they are the same person and that the tombstone is incorrect, 
since she probably didn't die the year after she was buried. The original burial 
register from 1903 says she is age 54 and that she died of apoplexy. There is no 
other information. She is buried on the same lot as Francis Fransway (1845-1910).
I am going to assume that she was born sometime between 1849 (based on age) and 
1852 (marker date), which would make sense since she would be a few years younger 
than Francis. The obituary sounds like it could be her, except for the age, so I 
am thinking there is a typo, maybe they transposed the age (35 instead of 53) or 
it should have been 55 instead of 35. I just looked in the Lot Diagram book for 
and I see that the lot was originally purchased by William Rosinsky and was paid 
for 6/3/1903. So now I definitely think it's her and there is just a typo in the 
obit."

JOHN FRANZ

From Der Nord Westen, 01 Oct. 1903: (Saturday dateline)
What has been long expected occurred yesterday with the death of John Franz 
whom we had reported as having suffered a stroke several weeks ago. One had 
hoped that Mr. Franz would overcome the illness and be returned to his former 
health, but that hope went unfulfilled as he grew weaker and weaker until his 
death yesterday (Friday). John Franz was one of the best known and eminent
residents of our county. He was born 15 Nov. 1832 in Hockelheim, Kreis Wetzlar, 
and after his marriage came to America in 1856, arriving in this county on 
02 July, and settled in Two Rivers. There he was employed in one of the several 
factories until 1864 when he lost an arm in an accident and had to give up his 
position. In 1865 the residents of Two Rivers elected Mr. Franz to the office 
of Village Treasurer, a position he filled for several years. In 1868 he was 
elected Registrar and moved to Manitowoc where he lived ever since. He filled 
that office until 1878 when he and his son established a land and loan office 
under the name Franz, Schmitz & Co. where he worked until his illness. Mr. Franz, 
who belonged to the Order of Odd Fellows and to the United Old Workers, is 
survived by his widow as well as 3 daughters –Mrs. Fritz Beeker, Mrs. A.J. Schmitz, 
and Mrs. Dr. W.G. Kemper, as well as numerous grandchildren. The above mentioned 
son died 8 yrs. ago. The funeral will be held Mon. afternoon at 2 p.m. from the 
funeral home at 917 Jay Street.
**********
From Der Nord Westen, 08 Oct. 1903:
The funeral of John Franz, whose passing we reported in our Sat. edition, was attended
by an extraordinarily large number of mourners, a testimonial to the esteem which the
deceased enjoyed in our city. Pastor Gray delivered the funeral oration. The German
Odd Fellows Lodge and the vocal groups “Freier Sängerbund” and “Concordia” gave last
honors to their departed brother. The rites of the Odd Fellow’s Order were observed at
graveside and the singing groups delivered a dirge. Among the immediate family
members attending the funeral was Mrs. John Mehl of Milwaukee, the deceased’s
only sister. Mr. Mehl is in Germany at this time and could not attend. We wish to add
to our biography of the deceased; he had also served for many years as a member of the
Democratic Congressional District Committees and of the State Central Committees.

JOHN FRANZ JR.

From Der Nord Westen, 19 Mar. 1896: 
Unanticipated sudden death early Sat. morning of John Franz, Jr., 
the only son of our prominent citizen, Mr. John Franz. The deceased 
had been ill for 4 weeks with rheumatic fever and although it is 
painful, it is seldom fatal. On the evening before his death he was 
feeling so well that it was hoped he would be fully recovered in a 
few days. During the night he was restless and about 10 o’clock, Dr. 
Kemper was called. After Dr. Kemper arrived, the young man’s temperature 
registered 107, then increased to 107-1/2, 108, and finally at 108-1/2 
degrees. The doctor summoned the family in anticipation of death, which 
occurred at 2 a.m. John Franz, Jr. was born in Two Rivers 25 Aug. 1861 
and came to Manitowoc when his father moved here following his election. 
After leaving school, he studied leather crafting with Mr. H. Schmiedecke 
here in Manitowoc, for whom he worked 4 yrs. He then went to Minnesota 
and worked for a year before returning here and working in the real estate
and insurance business that his father had established. The deceased was 
married to a daughter of Mr. Frank Zeman, a marriage that produced 2 
children – ages 7 and 9. He is also survived by three married sisters. 
The funeral took place Tues. afternoon with a long funeral procession.

RAY G. FROSCH 

County Stove Pioneer, Dies
Grimms - Ray G. Frosch, veteran hardware and automobile dealer and the
first in Wisconsin to introduce oil and gas burning stoves in the rural
area, died at his home in this village Thursday night. He was 80.
Funeral services will be at 2 p.m. Monday at St. John St. James Lutheran
Church, Reedsville. The Rev. John Wendland will officiate and burial will
be in Evergreen Cemetery, Manitowoc.
Born April 18, 1877, at Wayside, Brown County, son of the late Frank and
Elizabeth Beattie Frosch, he began his business enterprise several years
before the turn of the century and a year before he married Emma Rader
at Sheboygan Falls June 7, 1899. The couple celebrated its 58th wedding
anniversary this year.
The store he launched at Wayside in 1898 throve and three years later a
similar business was established at Grimms. In addition to the hardware
store a grain elevator was erected and along with it a garage. When a
fire destroyed the hardware store and garage in 1930, only the hardware
business was re-established in an adjacent location.
At that time the Frosch Brothers partnership was dissolved. Frank Jr. had
been in business with him and previous to that their father had been 
associated in the enterprises.
Years before bottle gas stoves were available in rural areas, Mr. Frosch
sold coal and wood burning ranges. Not satisfied with this, he introduced
oil burning units which could be installed in existing stoves, and a 
number of years ago took over agency for a gas firm which made it possible
for him to sell an appliance he believed would help his rural friends live
with more comfort.
In addition to serving many years on the Town of Cato School Board he was
postmaster for more than 30 years, retiring in 1947 under the compulsory
age program. Five years later he retired from active participation in all
business and devoted his interests to gardening. He was a charter member
of the choir of the church at Reedsville.
Surviving are his wife, a son, Maitland, of Minneapolis, two daughters,
Mrs. Samuel M. Kuenzi, of Watertown, Wis., and Mrs. Francis Dietl of Manitowoc;
two sisters, Mrs. Walter Schlicker, of Detroit and Mrs. Alfred Halzer, of
Neptune Beach, Fla.; and a grandson. A sister and the brother with whom
he was a partner in the business preceded him in death.
Friends may call at Urbanek and Schlei Funeral Home, Manitowoc, after 2 p.m.
Sunday until 10:30 a.m. Monday when the casket will be moved to the church,
where the body will lie in state until the hour of service.
