Obit Frederick Zell. Wabasha Democrat, Friday, September 16, 1898, page 1.

Frederick Zell, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of Glasgow, 
died Tuesday morning at his home, the result of severe injuries received 
Friday while tying a bull in the stable. He suffered greatly until death 
put an end to all. 
Deceased was born in Strelitz-Meckelburg Germany, June 25, 1826 and was 
therefore a little past 72 years of age. In 1856 he came to America 
locating in Pepin Wis. In 1857 he was married. In 1874 he moved to the 
town of Gilford and in 1881 to the town of Glasgow where he since resided.
He was the father of eight children, seven of whom with his widow survive.
The children are Paul F, of this city; Mrs. Sefrien Hoch, Millville; 
John W, deceased; Mrs. Theodore Shade, Plainview; Fred, Jr., at home; 
Mrs. Henry Wempner, Oakwood; Will in the army, last heard from at Santiago 
before the battle; Henry at home.
Deceased was a man highly respected by the entire community and greatly 
loved by his family, and his death is deeply mourned. The funeral occurred 
yesterday at the Trout Brook Valley church, Rev Pharo preaching the sermon 
and was attended by a vast concourse of people.
