F.M. Blunk, who for eighteen years had been manager of the local electric light
plant, passed away Friday morning after a brief illness from heart trouble and
other complications.  He had been confined to his bed but a few days.  He had
kept in touch with his work at the light plant up to the last week.

Frank M Blunk was born near Lexington, Illinois, April 4, 1862, and died at
Hamburg August 11, 1916, having reached the age of 54 years 4 months and 5 days.
 His early life was spent near Lexington, after which he lived at Wyoming,
Illinois, for a short time.  From there he came to Hamburg, and took charge of
the light plant here, for which position he had been fully fitted by his earlier
training.

He was married in 1900 to Cora Blackburn, who with three children survives him.
 He is also survived by three children from a former marriage, and by four
brothers and one sister.

The funeral services were held at the Methodist Church Sunday morning, conducted
by Rev. A.C. Bocham.  The local lodge of the Knights and Ladies of Security, of
which he was a member, attended the services in a body.  Interment took place in
the Hamburg Cemetery.

Mr. Blunk, in his position of manager of the light plant, was an important
figure in the business life of the community, and will be missed by all those
who knew him.  He was an expert mechanic and a good business man and the
position he leaves vacant will be hard to fill.
