Death of Frank Cruse Occorred Last Friday Nite
  For the second time within three weeks the angel of death has silently 
entered this community and taken from us another neighbor and loved one. This 
time it is the father of the family; the mother having passed on before him 
three weeks ago, and the children are left to bear the sorrow of their 
departure.
  Frank Cruse, one of six children of Henry and Barbara Cruse was born in 
Hanover, Germany, Feb 25, 1850. Born of Catholic parents, he was baptized in 
that faith as a child, but in later years he renounced this allegiance and 
requested that he be buried in the Protestant faith. 
  When he was only three weeks old his parents left their native country and 
came to Americia to make their home, in the new land of promise. Here Frank, 
grew into manhood in the pioneer life of the western prairie.
  Mr. Cruse has spent the last few years of his life in the home of his son, 
Joseph, and although he has not been in good health for some months, he 
refused to give up and be a care to others while he could help himself. His 
final illness of the past three weeks called for others help and all that 
could be given in tender care could not prolong his life longer. Deathe came 
to release him from this world Friday night, Nov. 25 at the age of 82 years 
and 9 months.
  In the year 1882 he was married to LOUISA KERN. To this union eleven 
children were born, one of whom. Mary walker, preceded her parents in death. 
The other children, 4 sons are B.J. CRUSE of Plainfield, JOSEPH of Stanwood, 
ELMER and Dr. A.W. CRUSE of Mechanicsville; 6 daughters: Mrs. BARBARA GRELL 
and Mrs. ELLA YORK of Tipton, Mrs. MARGARET PLATTE of Clarence, Mrs. LUZETTA 
LARESEN of Omaha; Mrs. FRONA KlINE and MARTHA of Mechaniscville, remain to 
mourn the loss.
  There are 21 grandchildren and 1 great grand child, two sisters: CAROLINE 
KRUSER and ANNA DINGMAN of East Dubuque.
  For the last forty or more years, Mr. Cruse has follewed his occupation of 
farming in the vicinity of Stanwood. His success as a farmer and the respect 
which was occored him as a friend and neighbor, mark him as an honest, 
industrious and respected citizen. He was a man of few words and of good 
judgment and always ready to hilp others in time of need.
