OBITUARY--Frank Horn
Frank Horn was born Sept. 15, 1845, at Saxony, Germany and died
April 14, 1917 at Greenwood, Clark County, Wis. at the age of 71
years, 7 months. When he was five years old he crossed the ocean
with his parents and settled at Sheboygan, Wis. On May 7, 1876 he
was married to Louise Braun. To this union were born seven
children, five of whom are still living, two having died in
infancy. In 1878 they move to Clark Co. and have made their home
ever since in Braun Settlement. He was one of the early pioneers
who settled in the dense woods and hewed their fortunes out of the
forests. He has ever been known as a very industrious man, with a
sunny disposition, and was inclined always to look on the bright
side of everything.
He has been gradually failing in health for many years. He was a
faithful member of the German Reformed Church of Braun
Settlement.
He leaves to mourn his loss a devoted
wife, three sons, Will, Otto and Frank, all of Greenwood, and two
daughters, Mrs. Bertha Karsten of Curtiss and Martha, who is still
at home, and five grandchildren. He also leaves four sisters and
three brothers. One brother, Robert, died last October. The funeral
was held at the home by Rev. Hall on Wednesday, April 18, 1917, and
was laid to rest in the Braun Settlement Cemetery. A large
concourse of friends were there to pay their last respects to the
departed. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. Those who
came from a distance to attend the funeral were Mrs. Zimmerman and
Mrs. Hammer of Wrightstown, Wis., Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Kenkoske of
Chicago, Ill., Mr. Gus Horn of Rhinelander, Wis, Mr. Charles Horn
of Oelwin, Iowa and Miss Minnie Horn of Minneapolis, Minn.
