Kuzenski, Frank (23 FEB 1854 - 16 OCT 1935)

Funeral services for Frank Kuzenski, who passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Henry Jantsch, four and one-half miles east of the village (Dorchester, Clark Co., Wis.) Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 16 at 1:30, will be held Saturday morning at 9 o’clock at the St. Louis Catholic Church with Father Clement Haines officiating. Interment will be made in the Memorial Cemetery. Death was caused by old age and chronic heart trouble.

Frank Kuzenski was born in Poland on Feb. 23, 1854 and was 81 years, 7 months and 23 days old at time of death. Living in Germany as a young man he received military training in that country. He came to the United States in about 1875 and settled in this part of the country. He was united in marriage to Miss Minnie Boenish in the town of Deer Creek in 1883 and, after a year’s residence at Chelsea, Mr. and Mrs. Kuzenski moved to their farm home in the town of Deer Creek where they lived until Mrs. Kuzenski passed away in 1903. Since then Mr. Kuzenski made his home with his son, Morris, at his home east of Stetsonville. The past two months he had spent at the home of his daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Jantsch.

He leaves six children to mourn his death, Frank Kuzenski of Appleton, John Kuzenski of Allentown, Pa., Agnes, Mrs. Verne Hardin of Dubuque, Iowa, Minnie, Mrs. Harvey Maxim of Stetsonville, Frances, Mrs. Henry Jantsch of Dorchester, and Morris Kuzenski of Stetsonville. Two daughters, Mary and Dorothy, preceded him in death. He also leaves twenty-four grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Mr. Kuzenski was a faithful member of the Catholic Church and had a host of friends who join us in offering deepest sympathy to the mourning ones in their hour of sorrow.
