Meske, Mrs. Frank (23 Feb 1894 - 25 Sep 1918)

Mrs. Frank Meske died at her home in the town of Thorp, Clark County, Wis., of pneumonia, on Wednesday, Sept. 25, 1918, aged 24 years, 7 months and 2 days. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Malinowski of the same township and was born in Adams Co., Wis. on Feb. 23, 1894, came here with her parents in 1913 and was united in marriage with Frank Meske on Aug. 28, 1917. She was quiet and unassuming, so that friendship's circle endeared her to all with whom she came in contact, and it May be truly said that "none knew her but to love her." She leaves to mourn her untimely death her husband, Rank, Meske, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. Malinowski, five brothers, Thomas, Alex, Edward, Ben and Louie, also five sisters, Stella, Pearl, Johanna, Julia and Mary. The funeral, which took place on Monday from St. Hedwig's Church, was largely attended, three brothers, Thomas, Edward and Ben being among those acting as pallbearers, interment following in the nearby cemetery.
