OBITUARY
WECKOP  -  Frank Weckop, a well known and highly respected resident of
this section, passed away at his home 1½ miles west of town, Thursday, Feb.
29, at 8:45 P.M., of cancer of the stomach, aged 57 years, 6 months and 14
days.
Deceased was born Aug. 15, 1854, near Dusseldorf, Germany.  He came to
this country with his parents at the age of 14 and settled on a farm north
of town.  He was married in 1881 to Marie Kemp.  Six children blessed the
union, namely:  Lizzie, Theodore, Margaret, Frank, Sophi and Peter.  His
wife preceded him to the grave July 6, 1909.
They had resided on his farm west of town for the past 33 years.  He was a
good neighbor and kind husband and father, and his untimely death is
regretted by the entire community.  He had been suffering with cancer for a
number of years, but was always cheerful and happy, in his Christian faith.
 He was operated on at the Eital hospital in Minneapolis, Jan. 6th and two
weeks later came home.  Since that time he has been failing gradually.  A
sister and brother  (Mrs. Peter Mimbach and Henry Weckop) also survive him.
The funeral was held Monday A.M. from his late residence to the Catholic
church in this village, where services were conducted by Rev. Fr. Rant and
the remains were then conveyed to the cemetery of the parish, northwest of
town, and interred in the family lot beside his wife.
