YOUNG MAN DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS

After being a sufferer from Bright's Disease since last December, Fred Woodke (Woodkey)  Jr. passed away Friday, Oct. 7, 1921 at the Carpenter Hospital at Topenish, where he was taken a few weeks ago in the hope that he might be cured. He had been in different hospitals and under the care of several physicians but medical aid was of no avail, although everything possible was done to bring about his recovery.

Fred Woodke Jr. was born in Greenwood, Clark County, Wis. Jan. 14, 1897. When he was five years old his mother died. In 1904, in company with his father he came to Kalispell, where they resided until 1914, when they came to this valley and since made their home on a ranch east of Hot Springs, Montana.. His death brings sadness to his large number of friends and deepest sympathy is felt for his father, who with his loss is left alone.

Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 Rev. Geo. McVey Fisher conducted burial services in the Presbyterian Church and the body was laid to rest in the Ventling Cemetery. Rev. Fisher delivered a very comforting service and Mrs. Flower and Mrs. Keller rendered two beautiful and appropriate hymns. The deepest sympathy is felt for the father who devoted years of his life to the rearing of his boy who was left motherless. (Sanders County Montana Signal)
