HE IS WELL SPOKEN OF

Frank Morlock, was first acting mayor of St. Joseph

  Frank Morlock, aged 67, who died suddenly Monday at St. Joseph, had been in 
the retail liquor business in that city for many years.
  The local papers speak highly of him and his family.
  He was born in Baden, Germany, Oct. 15, 1844, and in 1854, with his widowed 
mother and four other little ones, journeyed to America, stopping first in 
Chicago, where the family resided for a couple of years. Thence they moved to 
near Pike's pier, this county. Frank followed farming until 1862, when he, 
with his brothers William, August ans Theodore, enlisted at St. Joseph in Co. 
I, 19th Michigan Infantry and in time was honorably discharged, with a 
Lieutenant's commission.
  He was active in local and county politics as a Democrat, and was acting 
Mayor of St. Joseph for some time after that city's incorporation as a city in 
1892.
  The funeral occured today at the Catholic church in St. Joseph.
